Trenerki

Kristín Einarsdóttir, an experienced P.E. teacher from Iceland and Sarah Jane Anthony, an experienced primary and EFL teacher from England met in Alicante, Spain in 2016 where they were both running their separate projects at the time. Kristín was hosting a trip for Icelandic teachers with Play to Learn More courses on the beach and visits to local Spanish schools as part of one of her teacher training projects and Sarah was running Smartenglish Creative Language School and offering teaching courses for local teachers in the area.

Although they didn’t share the same specialisms, after taking part in each other’s workshops, they soon discovered that they shared the same outlook on teaching:

Teachers and their students need to play more.

Both with years of experience of working with schools, developing their own methodology and running courses in Spain and Iceland and with a real sense
of excitement, they decided to create Smart Teachers Play More a truly exciting and practical course which focuses on learning, developing confidence and creativity through play, movement and sensory activities.
