Sectional sessions of the international conference “Prosperity of rural schools is the key to the well-being of society” were held

At the sectional sessions of the international conference, more than 330 teachers had the opportunity to analyze the most current topics with foreign and domestic education experts.
The famous Norwegian cartoonist, designer Oystein Christiansen and Lithuanian psychiatrist Darius Radkevicius talked about how important it is for a child to be creative and what are the ways to develop emotional intelligence. Participants also completed practical tasks based on three principles - combine, multiply, stretch.
– A child who studies Art and focuses on creativity becomes observant. This can give him a basis for understanding himself and others, for building positive relationships with the environment, for the optimal solution to any problem, shared Oystein Christiansen.
In the second breakout session, co-founders of the Foundation "Kamkor Zhurek" Victoria Charbonou and Elizabeth Turnock discussed the challenges facing children in the modern world. As part of the report “Relationships and Emotional Regulation,” experts focused on the topic of abuse, social inequality and the importance of supporting children facing hunger. The role of teachers in creating friendships and the importance of physical activity in discharging emotions and increasing children's focus are also discussed.
Expert teachers of the Russian language and literature of Nazarbayev Intellectual school of Physics and Mathematics in the city of Almaty Indira Khassanova and Gulnara Suleimenova presented the results of their research on the topic “The effectiveness of using the storyrelling method for the development of students’ communication skills in Russian as a second language.” Teachers talked about the concept of storytelling, its use in argumentative speech, and how to train participants to develop skills in its use.
Gulnara Suleimenova noted that through storytelling students acquire skills and abilities that are in demand in the era of global informatization:
– Considering the effectiveness of this teaching technology, the teacher, of course, must practice systematically, since storytelling ensures the integrated development of students’ cognitive skills and abilities, their communicative competencies, emotional intelligence, creative abilities, and functional literacy.

At the breakout session, Council of International Schools (CIS) expert Graham Ranger noted the enormous changes at Nazarbayev Intellectual schools since the first accreditation.
