A Spark of Innovation!
MILA's Professional Development Workshop today was an experience that truly reignited my passion for both teaching and research. From the moment we stepped into the room, the energy was palpable. Mariano García, the facilitator, clearly put immense thought into crafting a program that was not only informative but genuinely engaging. What set this workshop apart was its dynamic approach. It wasn't just another lecture series; it was an interactive journey!
We were encouraged to collaborate, brainstorm, and challenge conventional thinking. The activities were thoughtfully designed to foster creativity and promote cross-disciplinary dialogue, which is so crucial in a place like MILA.
The content addressed the advancements and challenges in our field. Mr. García expertly balanced theoretical discussions with practical, hands-on exercises, ensuring that we walked away with tangible and actionable skills.
Moreover, the workshop provided a fantastic opportunity to meet and connect with insightful and enthusiastic colleagues from both schools in Sunny Isles and Boca Raton. The collaborative environment fostered a sense of community and inspired us to explore new avenues for collaboration. The discussions were rich and stimulating, leading to fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. The workshop's organization was impeccable and incredibly responsive and supportive throughout.
In summary, this workshop was a dynamic, engaging, and highly valuable experience that enriched my professional development. I left feeling invigorated, inspired, and equipped with new tools and knowledge to enhance my teaching and research.
I highly recommend future workshops of this caliber to all MILA faculty. It was a testament to MILA's commitment to fostering a vibrant and innovative academic environment. Thank you for facilitating this...
Read moreI have been taking English lessons at Mila Language School with my teacher since last January 2016 every Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thanks to her teaching skills, I have been able to improve my written and verbal language capabilities tremendously as never before. Thanks to her teaching skills I have positively impacted my position at work. No other teacher has kept me motivated to learn and I believe the rest of the class has a similar opinion. No other teacher has ever created such a pleasant learning atmosphere in the classroom as she had. The quality of a language school is evaluated as good or bad depending of the personal experience each student has had with the teacher in the classroom. A teacher capable of offering such a motivating and professional learning experience is a valuable asset to any language student and should also be valued by the language school who employs them. Mila Language School has removed such an asset from the school with total disregard for the impact that such a change may have in the learning process of the class as a whole perhaps under some burocratic technicality. It is not a janitorial staff that has been replaced. It is someone who has created a bond with the students through patiently making us confident to express ourselves in a such an important second language as English in this country. It takes time to create this bond, breaking the ice and establishing a positive learning atmosphere encouraging us, the students, to learn and be able to apply the learned skills into every day situations. Having made such a managerial decision shows poor judgement and total disregard for us, the students who pay for the classes. That’s how business is lost. One...
Read moreHi, I've been studying at Mila's school for four years, and I've never had a teacher like her, she's perfect for teaching, she's very dynamic, going deep into the subject very calmly, and she manages to clarify all our doubts in a very easy. simple. If Mila had more teachers like Joanne Stoltz, she would be in 1st place in the ranking of the best English school for foreigners in Miami. I've thought several times about leaving Mila, because of the discouragement it gives, attending these classes is tiring. After taking a class with Joanne Stoltz, I realized that we can look forward to a better future for the school. Congratulations Mila school for this moment with the teacher Joanne Stoltz, who has an excellent preparation for teaching. She engages us with her practicality, and her classes are exciting. I learned from her to like writing texts, interpreting stories, and she works the traditional exploration of the book in a way that I had never seen, I didn't know there was so much cool in it, and she added with her pedagogical complements, her classes are rich for our understanding. Thanks again Mila for this...
