Our longstanding and always profound Teacher Journeys Conference once again proved to be an inspirational conference for all.

Collaborating with JALT Niigata Chapter – and held in Niigata in June – our one-day “17th Annual NEAR x Teacher Journeys Conference” featured 16 presentations with a breadth of topics including making barrier-free classrooms, service-learning projects, and AI and other technology-based learning techniques.

The atmosphere was electric and our plenary speaker Wayne Malcolm offered up an inspirational story of personal and professional development coming from a multitude of sources.
