ACTR Teachers' Lounges

ACTR offers its members an opportunity to have regular virtual Teachers' Lounges to exchange ideas, strategies, approaches to teaching, and specific activities for a Russian language classroom. 

Typically each Teacher's Lounge is focused on a specific topic, but teachers are always able to share any ideas or seek advice on any topic of interest. 
The Lounges are open to all active ACTR members. Please follow links below to register for any or all scheduled Lounges.

If you are a graduate student (non-member) requesting a registration fee waiver, email the committee co-chairs to get your registration code.
