@savechildrenuk planning a lesson teaching my year four (8/9 year) pupils about refugees and the migration through Europe. Considering using the most shocking day video. So you have an age suggestion for this film as I'm aware it may be too much for their age.
@Emma_Turner75 The huge benefit of worksheet/workbooks is the ability to reduce cognitive load and provide scaffolding which is reduce bit by bit. Often feels like this huge benefit and children's learning is forgotten in this discussion.
@WhistleblowingT I still remember being taken on the stop the Iraq war demonstration. Made no difference to the outcome but made a difference to what I believe in and made me go into working for human rights campaigns. Child will not forget it and will learn from everyone there.
@Theholisticpsyc Do you have a link to any research showing negative effects. Reading cribsheet and so far it seems there is very limited research showing cry it out is negative.
@rhiannonlucyc Molyvos on the island of lesvos is great. Been coming for 20 years and it's always stayed the same. Jet 2 fly here. 1 hr transfer. Delfinia and amfritriti pretty good hotel options.
@MrsVRE Can't say I agree. I generally find a written plan to not be of much use but a well thought out PowerPoint (e.g. instructions written up so children can look back) to be the most valuable thing. In my last School we also added lesson notes to the first slide.
@WhistleblowingT When I had a transition day last year my current school requested a supply teacher be paid for by new school. They said it was standard.
@MrAllington Surely this depends on the person. I taught as an English language teacher in Spain for 3 years before PGCE. So as an ECT I already had 3 years in class. What if someone ran a school abroad and trained teachers to teach.
@michael_merrick@bentleykarl No you really are devaluing higher education a nd appear to put this argument out about once a month and have the same arguments with people.
