ASA Teachers Present at Annual AMISA Conference

Every year teacher leaders from around North, Central, and South America come together for an educational conference hosted by AMISA (American International Schools in the Americas). These conferences bring the best and brightest minds together to share modern teaching strategies, educational research, and global educational trends.

This year the 2022 AMISA Educators Conference was hosted by Graded School in Sao Paulo during the month of March. ASA sent seven STEAM educators to attend the conference and present various workshops on modern STEAM teaching and learning strategies.

From our elementary school, Lilian Gonzalez presented about tech tools to facilitate learning for young students.

From middle school, Daniel Tice, Nathan Lipperer, and Wes Staton co-presented on transdisciplinary teaching strategies that employ design thinking.

From high school, Katie Barnett-Rivas and Kerry Lederman co-presented on community connections and female leadership in STEAM subjects.

From the administration, Dr. Tyler Shelden presented on virtual activities conferences, such as RoboHack, and how they connect students from around the world. While teachers are temporarily gone during these conference opportunities, the resulting energy and new ideas that they bring back to ASA always make the investment worthwhile.
