AZTESOL State Conference 2018

From our vista point in the West, we can watch as the seeds of sociocultural, economic, educational, and political change take root within our agencies, our programs, and our classrooms. We can remain observant, waiting to reap what’s been sown, or we can choose to cultivate communities who will proactively address these complex-- and at times chaotic-- changes. 
During this interactive keynote, we will reflect on the nature of cultivation, while analyzing the organic and dynamic relationship between the changes and challenges we face in our field. We will also address ways we can develop and extend our sense of community in order to support effective practices in our classes and successful outcomes for our learners. 
Despite farming credentials that are over 42 years old, Jayme Adelson-Goldstein offers a collection of 10 cultivation tips and techniques to help us (and the learners we serve) deveop and engage with our communities. A Google Drive folder link with tips and associated materials is provided.
