ESCOLA LES PALMERES

SANTA COLOMA DE GRAMENET

# data[].attributes.body
Les Palmeres school is located in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, closed to Barcelona.

As you can imagine, it's a public school and most part of the students come from the city center. But as the immigration of the city has raisen up in the last few years, the immigrant population in the school has done it too.

If I had to describe my school today, I would define it as a school in the process of change.

What I highlight are all the changes we are trying to implement in terms of the pedagogical system.
Two years ago, all of us bet to work for projects, ambients ... and we are trying to forget the typical master class where the book was used and the children were passive students.

With all these pedagogical changes, including the GEP system, we want to have active students. We want students with the ability to think, reason, work in group and decide.

The course has come to an end.
My assessment is positive in general terms, because I have learned another way to teach a foreign language much more competent than the one we are used to do. In addition, all the resources learned (input, collaborative and cooperative work, etc.) are useful for the rest of the subjects.

On the other hand, I have had a lot of extra work and not so much time to do it as well as not too much help from the school. I think that to continue with this project, the school must make a good  schedule adaptation. Also it will be helpful to remove responsibilities to the person that is doing the course. Another important thing to take into account, is that I teach in the second grade of primary and i have implemented gep in 4th grade. That means that I only have had one hour a week to work with them (reinforcing maths) so I didn't know their english level and it was difficult for me to create the activities.  Because of this, I am still implementing the project.

To finish with, and to be honest, I would like to continue with Gep but only if the conditions in my school improve because it has been a hard year for me.

While the teacher reads the text, students have some images according to different parts of the text and they should put them in order. It is known as a “dictogloss”.
