National AJET held a nation-wide 80-minute professional development conference call on September 30th, 2014 at 6pm.
During this call, we interviewed John Finucane, an alumni JET from Ireland who has successfully transitioned into the Japanese education industry as a homeroom English teacher at Chiba Kokusai, about his experience and how JET helped him prepare to enter the field.
A few of John’s accomplishments since JET include speaking at numerous conferences and seminars, establishing a professional organization of educators and peer-reviewed journal based in Saitama City, and self-publishing “A Teacher’s Handbook for Debate.”
