SEP Teachers Get Together and Get Motivated in Guadalajara

On May 16th forty-five SEP teachers and supervisors participated in a two-hour workshop on motivation and reflective teaching organized by Alfredo Manriquez and Lynn Roche from the U.S. Consulate in Guadalajara, Jalisco. The teachers, who were from primary, secondary and high schools in Guadalajara, participated with enthusiasm and expressed interest in attending more workshops.
As one participant summed up, “ You can’t give anything to someone else, if you don’t have it before – you can’t motivate someone if you’re not motivated yourself” or as another one stated, “It’s important to change and to work in teams”.
