A special treat for the coming New Year! We are delighted to announce that our first plenary speaker for the 21st ELTA Conference will be Borko Petrović, who won the 2022 Global Teacher Award for being the best teacher and educator in the world!
O Captain! My Captain!
I am the Captain of my boat! But there is a little thing called responsibility attached to my rank, as my sacred duty is to leave no man behind! That can get a bit tricky if you have about 200 men under your command. A good captain knows his business and his crew – no two are the same. Some may paddle faster, some may fall behind, but that’s ok. I know what my men can do, and so do they. How? Because we manage and control our abilities, our time, our direction and our deck. It can take us a bit longer to bring her home, but we always do it together as a team. If you need some advice on how to self-regulate your adventurous voyage and survive at sea with slim chances of mutiny, take it from your Captain, I am your man. Arrr! See you at the plenary!
