Migrant students' arrival in schools is a good opportunity to rethink schools through the idea of welcoming new people, new students, new lives full of experiences that can enrich our lifestyle and our idea of what is really important in a social relationship.]]> 2017-05-12 20:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171579423 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171582290 1.2  Meeting the needs of newly arrived migrant students
My school hasn't still experienced the flux of immigrants directly escaping from wars or/and  persecutions, so the few foreign students in the classrooms are, most of all, sons of a more peaceful movement, they arrive with their families , pushed by the necessity to improve their economic conditions. Thank God, in many cases, they haven't witnessed the atrocities of wars; they may have linguistic difficulties at first, but no traumas. Their needs are easier to deal with. Anyway it's important to start building a permanent unit or staff, in schools, that could face a wider variety of problems related to the possible needs of migrant students]]> 2017-05-12 21:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171582290 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171692379 1.3 Organisation of integration

In my school foreign students are quickly integrated with the other students and follow the lessons mostly in Italian. Things change when there are the language classes, as they are taught in English, French or Spanish, depending on the language course chosen. Some of the newly arrived students, who may experience difficulties with the linguistic comprehension, may follow simpler lessons in small groups with other teachers who teach them the basic of Italian, but this isn't always like that because it depends on the funds the school receives to pay the few teachers that decide to work with these particular students.]]> 2017-05-14 17:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171692379 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171695179 1.4 Organising support at school level

As already said, in my school there isn't a precise support system for students from abroad. We, as teachers, do most of the work; we try to create projects that can meet the students' needs and a great part of the work is made on a voluntary basis. In some schools we meet and work with linguistic mediators, but their work is often in vain because they don't know if next year they will be there again and cooperate with the same students and teachers. School starts in September and they usually arrive, when possible, after 2 or 3 months. It's very difficult to work with foreign adults, when it happens it's thanks to PON projects, that is National Educational Projects financed by UE.]]> 2017-05-14 18:22:48 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171695179 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171710050 2017-05-14 22:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171710050 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171710714 2017-05-14 22:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171710714 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171711141 2017-05-14 22:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/171711141 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172100107 1.5  Community based projects

Community based projects are an excellent idea for the students and the local community where they start living.
It could be easily done also in my school with the right involvement of the people and town administrators. 
First of all  we could introduce the school structures to the newly arrived children; there they could follow sport,  art, theatre and music lessons which are good to get them more involved in the new system. After that it could be interesting to start meeting the local area with visits of museums, libraries, parks, etc .  There they can have an active role learning by doing. Once the students have accumulated a little experience of the new place around them, they can also start thinking about the places they are from, studying them, comparing the different realities and start this new experience of life as citizens of the world.]]> 2017-05-16 14:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172100107 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172193307 2017-05-16 20:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172193307 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172194054 2017-05-16 20:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172194054 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172434208 2.1 Preparing for arrival

In my school there aren't refugee or migrant students coming from the war areas of these last times, but I certainly meet foreigh students who, in some circumstances, don't speak Italian or simply refuse, expecially at the beginning to communicate with me and the new classmates. In a particular case I met a Moroccan girl who spoke no Italian or English...After the first meetings I offered her some papers with simple sentences written in Arabic and English...she immediately smiled at me!]]> 2017-05-17 19:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172434208 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172438164 2.3 Supporting specific needs

After a brief and fast reading of my colleagues' impressions on this aspect of the discussion, it's easy to understand that in Italy teachers are very often left alone in the classrooms with students. Iy could be advisable to have a psychologist to refer to in the schools as we are not ready to deal with complex issues as traumas, post war stress and so on. Even if we are willing to learn and welcome eveerybody in the classrooms, we can't succeed using our didactics only, a good support to our work is absolutely necessary!]]> 2017-05-17 20:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172438164 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172440571 2.4 Classroom activities

The first idea that comes to my mind is to paint in brilliant colours the classrooms; then let the "regular" students introduce themselves when arrving new foreign classmates; he third idea is to make a tour of the town and show the news students the most important places in town.]]> 2017-05-17 20:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172440571 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172442865 2.6 Supporting language learning

I teach English, so what I want is to make students communicate using English not so much Italian. There are lots of web sites for learning English, but if possible I try to use comics and songs. Music is always a good choice.]]> 2017-05-17 20:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172442865 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172443918 2.7 Classroom community building

Sports games are good opportunities of creating a closer contact among all the students. It's fine, easy and fun for everybody, expecially f you can practice open air.]]> 2017-05-17 21:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172443918 scrocchia67 https://padlet.com/scrocchia67/jxukbbj4ihbz/wish/172447457 Development plan
