Key Action 1- Chances for All-
Teaching Assistants CPD Job-shadowing in Rastaala School, Finland.
This project will allow 12 teaching assistants from Dunkirk to visit Rastaala over a two year period and observe the strategies and methodologies that are used in Rastaala for teaching and learning.
The project will lead to a more refined and improved provision for our pupils with different needs at Dunkirk and with more confident practitioners who have had time to learn from and experience a different international system of supporting pupils with a range of needs.
Another long term benefit will be a higher profile for our link with Finland. The fact that another 12 members of staff will have visited Rastaala School by the end of the project will ensure that the European dimension of our curriculum and ethos is part of every participants practice.
Each participant will be expected to share their experience in assemblies and lead a staff meeting with their findings. They will also use this website, the school website and e Twinning to document their experience and outcomes. The confidence of the participants will increase and their involvement in whole school initiatives and projects will increase. A greater European understanding amongst them will develop and this is crucial at this tricky time of Brexit. The participants work closely with pupils at all times and their ability to share their Finnish experiences will enhance the pupils understanding of what being a part of Europe means.
