Focus Group (FG) 3 workshop“Teachers’ words matter for students:
Words that help and words that hurt ”
24 March 2023 – 13:00-14:30 CETZoom

Interpretation channels

Interpretation is accessed through the Interpretation icon (globe) of the Zoom toolbar:
The participant will be able to choose between:
1. Off (= floor)
2. English
3. JapaneseParticipants should always select OFF before taking the floor. Failure to do so can create a technical glitch
in which participants can hear both the speaker and the interpreter at the same time.
Please note that interpretation of remote meetings on Zoom serves to facilitate communication and does
not constitute an authentic record. Only the original speech is authentic. Interventions that are too fast or
read out or where the sound quality is insufficient may have to go un-interpreted.

1. your first name and LAST NAME

this workshop- The OECD writes up your experiences for inclusion in E2030 outputs (a report onan ecosystem approach to curriculum implementation; Teaching Compass 2030)- You review what we write and decide if you want your story to appear in E2030
outputs, and if so, provide a photo to go with your story- Your real-life experience helps readers understand how education policy plays out
