         <title>In the second video, Prof.Dr. Hans Anand Pant of the Deutsche Schulakademie makes the point that the integration of refugees in our school actually provides a good opportunity to rethink schools in general and that the work required to integrate them can be a powerful driver for innovation at schools. Do you agree with this statement? Why (not)?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The specific needs of newly arrived migrant students coming into schools are as diverse as the students themselves. However, <strong>their common experiences</strong> of fleeing their home country, often living through harrowing situations and losing loved-ones, sometimes coming from quite basic living conditions prior to arriving in schools, as well as the experience of being in a foreign place, does mean that this group of students <strong>often has some specific needs that we at school need to be aware of.</strong> </div>]]></description>

         <title>What do you feel are the main needs of your students? Where do they and you require support in addressing their needs? Is it dealing with trauma? Or is it about language support? Do you also have experiences where students have very basic needs such as those outlined by Amber? And how do you meet those? </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I haven't had any experience with refugee students in my class, yet, but it's only a matter of time, as the school i work in is very close to two refugee camps. I am sure that we will have to deal with students with different schooling backgrounds, lack of basic life skills, or even lack of basic necessities, and most importantly students that have experienced trauma. I believe that refugee children and the school itself will need a network of people and/or institutions willing to support them.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

Nora Brezger of the Berlin Refugee Council outlines some general principles and ideas that schools and in particular school leaders should take into account when addressing the integration of newly arrived migrant students. Nora also <strong>highlights the importance of building within and outside of school functioning networks of colleagues and external partners, allowing for regular exchanges</strong>. This is also one of the main purposes of this course, providing you with <strong>an opportunity to find colleagues who you can exchange with</strong> so make sure to get in touch with each other via the forum or on social media. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Ideally, by the end of this course, <strong>you will have some concrete ideas and a development plan to implement that will help you integrate successfully any newly arrived migrant students at your school. You should also hopefully have a network of individuals and organisations that you can draw upon for support.</strong> We ask you to start working on <strong>a development plan that you can put into action at your school.</strong> For this purpose we have prepared a template which you can download<a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/documents/211718/0/Integration+Course+Development+Plan+Template.docx/006089bd-d6b9-4875-8f0f-ce5cf890492d"> here in Word format</a> (and <a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/documents/211718/0/Integration+Course+Development+Plan+Template.odt/2ab07267-4b49-4e19-82b6-57c0b1fd06c1">here in Open Office format</a>). Alternatively, you can make a copy of the embedded Google Doc version below (you need to make a copy for your own Google account as you cannot edit the version below). Please <strong>use this template as a guide to prepare your development plan. For the purposes of the course, please make sure that you complete it in English as you will be asked to share the completed document for peer review in Module 2.&nbsp;<br></strong><br></div><ol><li><em>For now we suggest you start to identify all the issues/areas of work you would like to address in the next half year and briefly complete the section outlining the current situation in regards to those issues. You will have to copy the table for each issue you want to address. Of course feel free to already proceed with the other sections but just bear in mind that there will be some more inputs shared in Module 2 which could be relevant to take into account.</em></li><li><em>Please also already fill-in existing and potential future partners that you and your school could cooperate with to support newly arrived migrant students. Could you tell them about the course and get them involved? Maybe this is a good opportunity to engage with them?</em></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this module, we really want to focus on what you as a teacher can do in your own classroom. This module aims to inspire you to develop your ideas and <strong>classroom activities that support newly arrived migrant students in their learning</strong>. While in Module 1, we discussed whole school issues which you cannot change as a teacher alone and how important it is for you to get support both from inside and outside the school, now we want to give you<strong> ideas which you can put into practice directly.</strong> As you will see, almost all suggested activities are <strong>relevant, regardless of whether you teach your newly arrived migrant students in a separate class or together with your regular students.</strong>Also make sure not to miss our live webinar on Tuesday 6th December, as it gives you tips on an extremely relevant question:<strong> how to prepare your “regular students” for the new situation of welcoming and working with the newly arrived migrant students in a positive way</strong>, either directly in the classroom or in the general school environment.<br><br></div><div>Please also bear in mind the <strong>general goal of this course to find colleagues to share resources and experiences with on a regular basis also beyond this course. </strong>Hence, if you are interested in a further exchange with other teachers on the topic, this is a good moment to still use our channels to find like minded colleagues. If you have a particular project or exchange for instance with teachers of a specific subject or country in mind, you can also indicate that.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>During the course series, we already stressed several times that we should try not to perceive “the newly arrived migrant students” as one homogeneous group but stress that each student has his or her individual background and story. The point is again made in this section and that some preparation about understanding their background is crucial to making them feel welcome and helping them learn. So to help us imagine this diversity and as an incentive to learn more about your students' backgrounds, share here more about your newly arrived migrant students. How many are they, where are they from, what languages do they speak? How do they feel about being at your school? Did any of them share their individual story with you? Of course please share your students story BUT at the same time make sure to respect their privacy and only share what you feel he or she would be comfortable sharing with a larger audience.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Newly arrived migrant students often have some very specific needs that you as a teacher cannot always support them with. Many newly arrived migrant students have lived through very difficult or even traumatic situations back in their home country or during their journey to Europe. Sometimes they do not feel safe yet about their present and future in the new country.  t is important to know your own boundaries of ability and responsibility and it is not your job to solve these issues for your students, it is essential that you know where you can refer them to the external support they need. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Although there aren't any refugee students in my school for the time being,  I hope that when this happens the state will make sure that a psychologist and a social worker will be by our (and our students') side. I know that this happens in some schools on a weekly basis in order to cover the needs of local students, as well.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Share at least one concrete ideas for classroom activities that you either already tried or would like to try in your own classroom. In addition, can you think of an activity that could help your “regular students” to be prepared to learn together with newly arrived migrants? You can also take inspiration from Erika’s webinar on the topic.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE TEXT BELOW CLOSELY, so that you understand exactly how to complete this final activity. You can submit your development plan and the peer reviews further below. Please note, we will NOT be using the Learning Designer Tool in this task.</div><div>Again, first and foremost this document is to help you structure your own thoughts &amp; planning. There is no correct way to complete the document. Hence, if you find parts of the document unclear or not useful, feel free to modify the document according to your own needs. The only thing you need to bear in mind is that the course participants that will review your template need to be able to comment on your ideas.<br>In order to complete the course you have to submit your development plan for peer review further below on this page. The purpose of the review is not to assess your work but to provide a formal opportunity for a peer to consider your plans and provide ideas, resources, feedback, questions that could help you move your own thinking forward.  <br>In order to complete this activity please follow these steps:</div><ol><li>Finalise your development plan and save it in either Word or Open Office format. Ideally add your name as part of the file name when you save it. </li><li>Submit your development plan file in the interface below. You can upload a file there. In the text box that is part of the submission, you can enter a link to your learning diary and/or just write a short paragraph explaining a bit about your situation. This will be helpful information for your reviewer. Make sure that you formally hand in your task after uploading your file. <em>If you made a mistake while handing in your task in step 1, please check the </em><a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/en/web/competences-for-21st-century-schools/faq?p_p_id=preguntas_WAR_preguntasportlet&amp;p_p_lifecycle=0&amp;p_p_state=normal&amp;p_p_mode=view&amp;p_p_col_id=column-1&amp;p_p_col_count=1&amp;_preguntas_WAR_preguntasportlet_view=verDetalle&amp;p_r_p_564233524_resourcePrimKey=612&amp;_preguntas_WAR_preguntasportlet_permisos=true&amp;_preguntas_WAR_preguntasportlet_typeView=lastQuestions"><strong><em>Course FAQ</em></strong></a><em> to understand how you are supposed to proceed</em>. <strong>The deadline to submit your file is Wednesday, 14th December.</strong></li><li>Wait for a while until you have received an email confirming that there is work waiting for you to be reviewed. If you do not receive such an email more than 24 hours after submitting your own work, check back in this section to see if you already have some work to review. You will then be able to post comments on each of the 2 course development  plans of your peers in the text box that will be available below each of the tasks. <strong>Take a look at </strong><a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/documents/10180/0/Integration+Course+Development+Plan+Example/910bf52a-3e81-4e04-9c71-350f2b145d19"><strong>this document</strong></a><strong> (</strong><a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/documents/10180/0/IntegrationCourseDevelopmentPlanTemplate_ODT.odt/3c6a42e3-983e-4a48-a451-6878fb9caccf"><strong>ODT version</strong></a><strong>) for an example of the kind of feedback that should be provided.</strong> Make sure that after having posted your comments in the text box, you click the "Review" button. </li><li>To see the tasks of your peers allocated to you, you need to come back to this page, scroll down and click on the + symbol next to the names you will find in step 2. <a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/en/web/competences-for-21st-century-schools/faq?p_p_id=preguntas_WAR_preguntasportlet&amp;p_p_lifecycle=0&amp;p_p_state=normal&amp;p_p_mode=view&amp;p_p_col_id=column-1&amp;p_p_col_count=1&amp;_preguntas_WAR_preguntasportlet_view=verDetalle&amp;p_r_p_564233524_resourcePrimKey=629&amp;_preguntas_WAR_preguntasportlet_permisos=true&amp;_preguntas_WAR_preguntasportlet_typeView=lastQuestions"><strong><em>Click here</em></strong></a><em> to see what you are advised to do, should you receive an empty box, a broken link or work written i a language other than English.</em><strong> In order to do the review, please write directly into the file that has been shared with you but using a different colour for the texts. </strong>This way you can respond directly to individual items raised in the development plan. There is no formal framework for providing a review as it is no formal assessment but a process to encourage some reflection and input to the own development plan. You can see the type of input we are thinking about in this example document. Please save the file you reviewed in Word or Open Office format and submit it as part of your review below. Make sure to submit your review properly after uploading the file. <strong>The deadline to submit 2 reviews is Sunday, 18th December. </strong></li><li>After submitting your own reviews you can always come back to this section to check if reviews of your own development plan have already arrived. </li></ol><div>Now this whole activity relies on your integrity and professionalism. Please take it seriously, don't plagiarise and provide valuable and friendly feedback. It is extremely frustrating having put a lot of work into a great development plan and then not being provided the professional courtesy by someone who does not take the review process seriously.<br><br></div><div>The review process is NOT anonymous so you will see the name of the person who has reviewed your lesson plan. But please note that if you are not happy with the review you have been provided, we are not in a position to check this. However, if you feel someone has really not taken the process seriously and is misusing the system in some form, please report this to us by writing an email to <a href="mailto:teacher-academy@schooleducationgateway.eu?subject=Plagiarised%20work%2F%20peer%20review%20process%20system%20misuse%20on%20Integrating%20Newly%20Arrived%20Migrant%20Students%20in%20schools%20course">teacher-academy@schooleducationgateway.eu</a> and we will investigate it.<br><br></div><div>Please also remember that the process of reviewing someone's work is a great learning exercise so participating in this exercise should be valuable in itself, even if you feel the feedback you have received has not been that helpful.<br><br></div><div>And remember, this is the final task of the whole course so use all the ideas, resources and inspiration you have gained so far. Enjoy!</div>]]></description>
