Between 10:00 and 12:00, there will be a choice of four breakout sessions presented by area teachers who have studied and traveled to Japan and Okinawa to expand their knowledge and teaching expertise. Their experience was funded by the United States-Japan Foundation. Workshop participants will be able to attend two of the four sessions listed below.
