AIS Voices

Speaking in front of a crowd of people is NOT easy. It is challenging and nerve-wracking at the same time but a necessary skill to learn. At AIS, we want our students to have the confidence to use their voice to share ideas. This was the goal of Mr. Josefino Rivera when he offered high school students the opportunity to join a well known community of TEDx presenters. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mr. Rivera to find out more about TEDx at American International School.

In this episode, I had the opportunity to speak to a group of children about STEAM. In November, AIS students explored STEAM through projects thoughtfully designed by teachers. Listen in to what they had to say about their experiences.

Reading is an important lifelong skill that we must acquire to help us in all facets of life. The list of benefits are endless but there are many misconceptions in reading. Some popular ones include reading aloud, reading levels, summarizing, picture books, and audiobooks. It is important for us to understand them and to move away from them to help our children become readers for life.
