Welcome

Dear Participants:

We are pleased to welcome you to ACS Athens for the 5^th Annual Conference on Learning Differences: “Leading by Example: Holistic, Meaningful and Harmonious Approaches to Teaching All Children”.

This conference offers us, as a community of educators and parents, an opportunity to reaffirm our belief that as unique individuals, we learn in different ways.

Practitioners from around the world will share best practice and current research, acknowledging that these differences can be a source of richness in the classroom, and that instruction must address these differences so that all students can succeed.

ACS Athens is committed to implementing an inclusive, holistic American philosophy of education within an international setting. This conference is testament to the school’s commitment to promoting life-long learning and to the professional development of the community of educators.

We hope that the conference presentations and workshops will challenge you to think, question, reconsider, wonder and experiment.

We wish you a productive and enjoyable weekend of learning and discovery.
