Visit of European teachers to Culverhay




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!
