Teachers of English and Heads of school.
- Reflect on the benefit of teachers' collaborative work and its impact on students' performance. - Gain awareness of the importance of a positive atmosphere and a sense of belonging. - Hypothesize about possible conflicts in the group and how these can either be prevented or dealt with.
- Steps to project management. - Teacher's professional development: what's our project for 2008?, What will things be like if we achieve them?, What can we do to make this project work? - Development of a project work: samples of collaborative boards, backstage of a concert carried out at a primary school in Buenos Aires. - Clip from the movie "Miss Little Sunshine".
The session combines theory and practice. Lots of examples of hands-on activities and tasks to illustrate the importance of collaborative work. By the end of the session teachers will reflect on the topic and the extent of its value.
