Today’s podcast is all about Watch Parties! In December we’ll be holding our virtual conference and as an organization, we encourage you to hold a watch party at your school or in your community. What is a Watch Party, you ask? Ah, good question. Laura Cox, the PK 12 Inclusion Services Coordinator and Coach at the American International School of Johannesburg discuss that today.Laura is an educator and leader who believes that our questions inform our learning journey. And this belief inspired her to hold a watch party at her school last year. Today we’ll learn how Laura and her team organized the event, what it looked like for them, and how they got their administration on board with the idea. Laura’s and my hope, after listening to the podcast today, is that you will consider hosting a watch party at your school, as we believe that when we learn and discuss together, we all grow as individuals and as a group collectively.
