Dear All

We've just published a new film of one of Don's English lessons at HIU.  Here's the webpage introducing it.  The link to the film is at the bottom of the page.  Please pass it on to anyone who might be interested ...

Thanks to Don and to everyone at HIU, especially the students!

Hi Laurence,

Thanks for this new video; I'm looking forward to watching it!

There's something I wanted to share with everyone, especially Don, about these videos:  they're being used for teacher training at the moment. My colleague James and I have been helping a group of French teachers to become familiar with the SW at the CLA in Besançon, France, and the new video series has been extremely helpful to teach them about some of the basic principles behind Gattegno pedagogy. 

We regularly give our colleagues clips to watch, and ask them to observe something in particular. The question we asked them last week was "How does Don make sure his students are present at all times?"

Thanks to everyone involved in making the videos -- we feel very lucky to be able to use them!

Really glad that you guys are using these films!  (BTW there’s another film in that series on its way …)

And a great question ‘How does Don make sure his students are present at all times?’ … I’m looking forward to visiting Besançon later this year with my film cameras!!!
