Indra Odina

I am Indra Odina from Latvia, the Baltic States. I am involved in pre-service and in-service teacher education at the University of Latvia. My work is connected with EFLT/L and ESP methodology, cooperative learning, CLIL, research methodology, conference organization, mentoring. Since 2002 I have been involved in creating the mentoring system in teacher education in Latvia. I am a mentor trainer and this year I a had a chance to complete Peer Coaching Facilitator Training of the Microsoft Partners in Learning which was a wonderful experience to look at the mentoring issues from another side, besides the course gave answers to several questions how Microsoft tools could help us in mentoring/coaching. I love my job because of every new day it brings: I cannot complain of routine, it is never ending learning new things, and especially technologies which I am not that good at all.
