 My students are aged between 5 and 11 and some of them come from abroad. Such a cultural diversity requires special methods of teaching. To make the process more effective I want to improve my knowledge due to the course " Integrating Newly Arrived Migrant Students in Schools"]]> 2016-12-05 19:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141868037 luisasgaspar67 https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141869544
I completely agree with the following idea of tolerance towards each student. It seems to me that teachers should try to do all their best to teach their pupils to be tolerant to others. It doesn`t matter what nationality the person represents. Our task is to explain that everyone is unique and valuable in the world`s society.We as teachers must comtribute to it and try to be wise examples for our students how to behave correctly toward peole from abroad.

Do you agree with this statement? Why (not)?

“Schools create that important space, where teenagers, as soon as they arrive, can have a life perspective again”.

I totally agree with Mr Pant. I strongly believe that integrating refugees or/and migrants in our schools , changes our perspective towards schooling methods. In a multicultural society , we as educators need to adapt , personalize, change our approach and  embrace diversity. ]]> 2016-12-05 20:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141870562 luisasgaspar67 https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141871463 I believe that the refugees are people with a lot of needs that they need care and protection. The first things have to do with their basic needs (food, water, home). Then, they require phychological support (sense of safety, care and acceptance). Last but not least, their educational needs should be covered by fully-equipped schools and well-trained teachers as much as possible.
That's why we should do all the best to create comfortable conditions for studying. If we have a newly arrived student in the classroom, we are manages to organise some kinds of warming up activities to help him or her to join the community. It can be made throught mini-projects. ]]> 2016-12-05 20:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141871463 luisasgaspar67 https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141873380 How is the integration of newly arrived migrant students organized in your school? What are the advantages/ challenges related to the way your school organizes integration?

In our school we have a language teacher who works only with those migrant students who have difficulty with the  language. They are given special languages classes during the whole course. For two years those students taking special languages classes are not evaluated in that subject and thus their curriculum is not affected]]> 2016-12-05 20:12:25 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141873380 luisasgaspar67 https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141875134 What support do you receive from your school for your work with the newly arrived migrants? What additional support do you need?

In my school there are not refugee students. We are not starting or planning a support program. Sooner or later they'll come. There is a structure of psycholgical and pedagogical assitance for special needs students. The motivation of the teachers in my opinion will play a key role.]]> 2016-12-05 20:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141875134 luisasgaspar67 https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141876256 Do you have any ideas for your own community development project, inspired by Jana’s video? Could you easily adopt the RespAct project ideas at your school? Please share your ideas and responses here.

It isnt't easy, but there are quite a lot community-based projects, especially in primary school in my country. For example a project in cooperation of the municipal libraries of my town runs this time of period in my school.

So it will be really interesting for me to hear and read your experience and your ideas, because we plan activities on the one hand to sensitize our students.  ]]> 2016-12-05 20:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141879541 luisasgaspar67 https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141880306 Did you experience yourself that your newly arrive migrant students had difficulties you struggled helping them with? Would you know where to find help for them or is that difficult to organize in your school/country? Share your stories here.

Unfortunately in my school there is not the presence of a psychologist, so it's up the teacher try  to use all the means at his disposal to create a quiet climate in the classroom.
My students are introduced in a class not very easy to manage. Thanks a lot for the ideas!]]> 2016-12-05 20:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141880306 luisasgaspar67 https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141881308 We have some students from different countries so first I would choose a game based learning approach according to the interests of the newly arrived migrant students. Then I would invite them to explore the school. ]]> 2016-12-05 20:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141881308 luisasgaspar67 https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141881899 Different types of  games can help them to understand the new language.
I think the language is not athe real problem as long as we can use ICT in our class. Children learn fast  as they are involved with their classmates.]]> 2016-12-05 20:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141881899 luisasgaspar67 https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141882575 If I had in my class problems in integrating about new arrived refugee students I  think I would be adopted a "talking circle". In circle we all express a phrase or a word on a theme to learn to be together.
This game is very interesting. ]]> 2016-12-05 20:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141882575 luisasgaspar67 https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141883301 2016-12-05 20:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/141883301 luisasgaspar67 https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/143136252 This is my Plan]]> 2016-12-12 15:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/luisasgaspar67/newlyarrivedmigrants/wish/143136252
