The lively teachers spent six hours each day from December 11th-15th, 2006 collaborating in groups, inventing chants, performing role plays, analyzing tasks, developing listening lessons, discovering their learning styles and strategies, and setting professionals goals. Particularly memorable were the very creative "Multiple Intelligence" chants that each group came up with.
The training ended with a posada that included tamales,coke, gifts and certificates of participation to recognize all the hard work of the teachers.
