Dutch International Primary School Teachers (DIPS) - Talk on School Readiness for

March 2024

I had the opportunity to be part of the Early Years Conference for International Primary School Teachers (DIPS) at the European School in Den Haag on March 27th, 2024.

I gave a talk on school readiness to Group 1 & 2 teachers at international schools in the Netherlands. We talked about how culture shapes students and their parents' school preparedness, academic attitudes and behaviors from early ages on. We discussed how to help international children transition to school and how to support their parents along the way. I appreciated each and every question and experience teachers shared during the talk!
