I learned a new language to use with my learners.

Teachers use questions that evoke thinking and inquiry, so that the learners are able to discover and experience for themselves.

Practical demonstration of mediation. Louis is an excellent mediator and it really helped to see it demonstrated. Loved the dedication, enthusiasm and firm belief in worth of BC approach to learning. I really think you opened our eyes to new methods of promoting learning and especially development of language.
