Ser Educador és el Millor!

Una estona per fer una ullada al que representa educar infants i joves en escoles innovadores i l.lusionades. Una estona per recordar, ajudar-nos, emocionar-nos, reflexionar i motivar-nos junts! Perquè ser educador és el millor, i els que van a una jornada de formació… són la sensació!

Responding to emerging learning styles

As a teacher, you may recognise that there may be children in your classes with emerging alternative learning styles and the session will explore how to adapt, plan and implement changes to your existing classroom materials to provide a multi-sensory teaching environment. Join the session to see practical, tactile and visual examples that can support the children in your class and your teaching.

Children Writing collaboratively with a Sense of Purpose

It’s rare for our 8- to 12-year-olds to be enthusiastic about writing in English. They often think it’s boring and ask why they have to do it. Could it be that they don’t see the purpose of the tasks we set? In this session, I’ll share a range of engaging strategies, techniques and activities that have given my own pupils a highly motivating sense of purpose when writing. Examples of my pupils’ work will be displayed throughout the session.

Who’s in charge here?

As classroom sizes grow and teachers are asked to be disciplinarians as well as teachers, too much of our energy is spent on solving behavioral problems. In this hands-on session, we will look at the most common discipline issues teachers face and discuss multiple strategies to deal with them. From peer policing to praise versus punish, participants will come away feeling like they can take back control of the classroom.

Agir en français : des alternatives numériques ?

Est-il possible de faire coïncider deux mondes ? Celui des adolescents ayant les yeux rivés sur leurs dispositifs numériques avec celui de la classe où nous, enseignant(e)s, cherchons à ce que nos élèves agissent en français en leur proposant sans cesse des projets et défis. L’utilisation des nouvelles technologies, par exemple des smartphones, peut être une des clés pour trouver des terrains d’entente entre les centres d’intérêts des adolescents et nos objectifs pédagogiques. Dans cet atelier nous réfléchirons à l’importance des tâches dans l’apprentissage selon la perspective actionnelle et nous découvrirons ensemble différents chemins à suivre pour qu’une même tâche soit réalisée en support traditionnel et/ou numérique.
