Greetings!<\/p>\nGreetings!<\/p>\n
I hope you all had a great winter break and that the return to school and cold weather (for those of you who traveled south) wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t too bad! \u00c2\u00a0I have a few updates from AJET about things that have been happening over the past few months.<\/p>\n
It was great having the chance to speak about AJET at the Skills Development Conference in November. Just as a reminder from that talk, we continue to offer a $95 discount on a sweet online TEFL Course. Registration starts at any time, so please go to http:\/\/ajet.net\/outstanding-educators-program\/<\/a> in order to sign up! We also have tons of lesson plans, professional development resources, and educational resources which can all be found on the website so please check it out!<\/p>\n In current events, AJET met with CLAIR and the 3 ministries on December 12-13th<\/sup> to present the findings of the surveys that you filled out about \u00e2\u20ac\u0153English Education in Elementary School\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Peer Review of the PA System.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d We made a number of suggestions based on your replies about the JET Programme and the situation of these in Japan. Make sure to go to http:\/\/ajet.net\/category\/downloads\/national-ajet-reports\/<\/a> to read these reports and see what the replies were from the ministries.<\/p>\n Finally, AJET is also now preparing for elections, which will occur in late January. Please keep an eye out for information from me about how to run!<\/p>\n Stay warm (and go snowboarding, skiing, or nabe-eating once in awhile to beat the winter blues;)<\/p>\n Until next month,<\/p>\n Miriam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Greetings!
