Dear All,

Welcome to SY2324! My name is Zhang Bo, and one of my roles at NIS is Break Time Teaching Coordinator (BTT/Many schools call it duties). What is BTT?

How to do it?

Please view our  BTT Video Instruction for Primary and  BTT Video Instruction for Secondary.  Also, BTT Key Documents

You may also contact Zhang Bo, who is based in room C114, or email zhangbo@nanjing-school.com. What if I am away for my BTT days? 

Coming Up

Today, August 10th :

Please look at the  ROTA and see what’s best based on your schedule.
