Chief Atahm School’s language conference is finally back! Come join us to learn some new strategies on how to liven up your language classrooms. Learn how the latest methods for teaching can co-exist with traditional teachings. Our conference is where teachers learn how to hone their craft and where beginners get inspired
This conference's focus all of us to honour all that we have learned from our Elders. As language teachers, we become part of the continuum of teachings that have been passed down to us.
