- Building Bridges with Parents – Maria Davou, PhD, Linguist, Language School Owner & Teacher Trainer
One of the common complaints among school owners and teachers is that parents are difficult to convince and much too often there are communication breakdowns that affect business negatively. In this talk, we will present practical tools that can be used to “build bridges” with parents, cooperate with them constructively for the benefit of the most important stakeholder: our students.
- Small steps towards a giant leap: A new learning galaxy for preschoolers – Jenny Dooley, Author, President of Express Publishing
Fostering essential 21st-century themes, such as values, CLIL, creativity and collaboration at pre-primary level is of great importance.

- Brainless Exams? Certificates for all? Be bold to stand out! – Maria-Araxi Sachpazian, BA Education / RSA Dip/Tefl (Hons)
In the last few years we have witnessed a considerable change in the way we appraise Language Examinations internally, as educators or managers of FLS. In the past, a certain level of difficulty was a necessary and desirable characteristic. As teachers, we expected that students who did not make the grade or tried hard enough would fail. We also believed that Foreign Language Certificates have a certain weight and value. What has happened in the meantime to change this approach? This session aims to explore how FLS can make the difference. We are going to examine whether our students’ rates in Foreign Language Exams should be the focal point of our advertising campaign and our quality guarantee. We will discuss the central role of exam materials in the preparation of our students and how to handle mock exams for optimal results. Finally, mention will be made of how we keep the channels of communication with the families of our candidates. This practical session is for school owners and teachers.

- Survive or Thrive? Empower weak students and lead them to success! – Katerina Mantadaki, Senior Educational Consultant – Express Publishing
The average classroom is likely to contain one or more weaker students. One of the greatest challenges for teachers is balancing the needs of different students and choosing not to underestimate any learner. In this presentation we will look at the different reasons why some students fall into the ‘Weak Student’ category, the implications involved, as well as ideas on teaching strategies, to help all learners succeed.

- Why is the neighbour’s grass always greener? Sustainable school management for excellence! – Maria-Araxi Sachpazian, BA Education / RSA Dip/Tefl (Hons)
We keep telling ourselves that there is no such thing as ‘’being left behind in life’’. We keep repeating that ‘’we are all on our own personal journey’’. When it comes to our professional lives, though, this simply feels like a feeble excuse. Unfortunately, the constant comparison of schools can lead us to sacrificing our personal ambitions in favour of sales and popularity. This deprives us of the chance to steer our school in its own direction and goes against the idea of managing our own school, here and now. This session aims to uncover the root cause of this feeling and come up with a definition of excellence that focuses on the uniqueness of each school. Furthermore, we will explore the complex mechanisms triggered when managers tend to look more outside their own school than inside and, even more importantly, ahead. During our session, we will analyse practical examples of management issues and analyse tools that allow managers to sustain excellence without stretching their budget or selling their soul.
