Mountain Brook Schools Learning Conference “I began using Socratic Seminars in my AP Spanish classroom after attending a Learning Conference session last summer presented by Megan Hastings and Katie Ray on how they use the seminars in their English courses. They shared their materials, which I translated into Spanish with their permission. Thanks to their session last year, I have been able to successfully implement Socratic Seminars and want to share this information with other World Language teachers.” Jessie Creech, MBHS Spanish
