Partner representatives report on developments in each school since the first year of the project. Results of shared PBL task (How are we connected?)that all partners have worked on accross the curriculum in their schools will be a focus.
Different apporaches due to the different contexts of the partner schools are expected, which will be outlined and then evaluated and discussed.
Shared evaluation of what has and has not worked and a more indepth examination of Project Based Learning. As with the other meetings, this event could held partly over the weekend and partly during active school days, this will allow everyone to experience the educational context (and the use of PBL with pupils) during the active school days that follow. Methodology will include formal presentations, discussions, group work, observation, written tasks and evaluation by discussion and questionaire. This event will be divided into networking, information about the Spanish education system and context, presentations from every partner to allow them set out pedagogical developments at their school since the previous meeting and their work on our joint PBL task, budget overview and project management overview led by the UK coordinator, school and teaching observation at CEIP Juan del Río Ayala, discussion of what has been seen, acting planning for dissemination back in home schools and evaluation.
All of the presentations and outcomes of the meeting will be uploaded here. As mentioned, the normal activities of the school will be incorporated into project collaboration during part of the event.
The first Pupil Exchange between French and Spanish partner schools will coincide, allowing collaborating staff to observe the pupils working together using the PBL methodology too. 12 pupils from the French school will take part in this event. They will have their own program of learning activities, as well as to act as "test subjects" for all the teachers from all the partners in the project as they work with them or observe them undertaking a PBL task.
Pupils from the French and Spanish school are already linked via eTwinning and pen-pal. Their families are in contact via Whatsaap too as they are staying with families.
Our program may be seen here.
