Increasing teaching skills to become outstanding students
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Sep 1, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

s a result of a good working relationship during a Comenius project, the Spanish and UK partners involved have developed the current project together. This has resulted in a mutually beneficial project which aims to improve and develop teaching in both settings. The project aims to develop teachers understanding of the customs and culture in our partner school in order to enhance our delivery of Spanish as a Modern Foreign Language. The involvement of our MFL coordinator in conjunction with our International Coordinator and a Strategic International Group will ensure a long term impact on the curriculum. We also hope to observe the creative use of performing arts to enhance the curriculum in order to inspire pupils. These methods will be analysed to see if they would have an impact on the curriculum delivery at Moorside. In return, our Spanish partners hope to observe how we at Moorside use ICT to enhance and support the curriculum. They are also interested in the way we gain pupil attention and generate calm learning environments. This will enable our participants to develop their coaching skills by sharing methods with their Spanish colleagues. We intend to involve 8 members of staff in traveling to our partner school. However, presuming our partner school are also successful, many more staff will become involved in the project as a whole due to Moorside hosting Spanish staff and working alongside them. The participants involved in traveling to Gloria Fuertes will be staff who have already shown an interest in developing our European profile by filling in application forms and describing the impact they feel their visit will have. The main activity will involve job shadowing, as well as participation in lessons towards the latter end of the visit. The role of the teacher visiting will be decided by the host school, in conjunction with Moorside's International Coordinator. As a result of the above activities, we expect our Spanish curriculum to become inspiring and engaging. We will also ensure that our Spanish curriculum includes reference to customs and cultures. This will have long term impact on the MFL curriculum at Moorside.
