As a ‘Beacon
International School’ we occasionally are asked to host teachers from across
Europe who want to look at Teaching and Learning methods and get a feel for a
different educational system.
On Wednesday
this week 5 teachers from Greece, Italy, Lithuania, and 2 from Spain, visited
and observed ICT, Technology, Art, Modern Languages, Opening Minds with year 7,
PE and an International lesson in enrichment.
Their
verdict? They thought the students were
lucky to have so many resources available to them. They were impressed with the engagement from
everyone in PE and languages. Alfonso
said “ I have never heard music in a languages lesson like that to stimulate
the children”
The
animation seen from the students in ICT was really exciting, and Cecilia
thought the independent learning of the international group was great as the
students of different abilities were fully engaged for the lesson with only
minimum input from the teacher.
A job well
done!
