Fall Training Institute

November 2-3, 2012 - American School of Dubai, UAE

NESA's Fall Training Institute is a specialty conference attended by 200-250 international school educators. The program is based on an "extended institute design" so that delegates are together with the same presenter for the entire two-day conference. This format allows time for skill development, in-depth exploration and the establishment of partnerships/networks.
