From Coursebook to Canvas: The Teacher as an Artist

A coursebook is only the beginning; the teacher is the one that can transform printed pages into living, breathing lessons. In this session, Anna Pires shares practical ways to turn coursebook content into creative, meaningful lessons that make learning more human, relevant, and connected to students' lives. Through simple yet creative ideas, we will reflect on how to move beyond the page, valuing the teacher’s role as an artist. Together, we will discover how to turn the coursebook into a canvas for curiosity, imagination, and genuine learning.
