This week, we first saw different characteristics of a good teacher, such as passion in teaching and the importance of reflection. We also learned that each school has an "action plan" , which is a document for a long period, in which you plan how to shape your school. In it you put the ideas, the principles by which your school is ruled, the needs of the students... Then, by groups, we had to invent and represent on a large page, an action plan for an imaginary school; and this is the result: As you can see in the photo, some of our objectives are: to have two special days in the month, in which there would be activities such as trips, speeches, watching famous movies in the history of cinema or films with a deep message...Another purpose is to foster respect and positive relationship among students. To finish this week's blog, we are going to put a sentence that was said in class and that we think is very important: "If you're teaching but the

To begin the week, we all took part in choosing the head of our class. After hearing what the two candidates had to say, each person placed their vote. The winner was Maria Caro, she will represent our class.   After making an important decision about our own classroom, we watched a video entitled "Kids Gone Wild" about a completely different type of classroom. The video took place in Denmark and followed a preschool class that held their classroom entirely outside in the forest. No matter the weather, the students spent their school day exploring and discovering the natural world.  The video described the positive effects of an outdoor classroom. For example, the students are very independent because they are given a lot of trust to explore and play in the forest. The trust the students are given the s

Along this week we have seen some interesting videos and we have learn new concepts about PBL(Proyect, Based, Learning); which standars should follow an effective teacher; the personal experiences of some teachers on their jobs; and also an example of a story related by a teacher telling how funcional is a journal. So in a general opinion we have written a little reflection about each lesson and what we have discovered. Firstly, do we know what PBL is? Regarding this web page "https://www.bie.org/about/what_pbl" : this proyect prepares students for academic, personal and career success, and readies young people to rise to the challenges of their lives and the world they will inherit. In our opinion his use is not very widespread, but it is a resource that in an academic and functional form way the pupils like use learn of a different and more practical form. And he have found an curious video that explain this type of proyect : Secondly, after all the sessions we
