At the end of term 2 I asked my team, children, colleagues who I collaborate with and parents their thoughts with regards to the value of collaborative experiences the class experiences:
Teachers feedback:
Very good as decreased anxiety for children with up and coming transitions
Very good as uses teachers strengths when learning
Very good as it helps build knowledge of how to develop social skills and ability to interact with others.
From children:
Like it because they like going in the vans
Like going to college
Like writing emails to SLT
Like meeting new friends
From the parents:
Like it as it decreases anxiety issues for when children are moving classes next year.
From class team:
Just one or two outings each week, as they spend too much time out of class.
Not spend much time there so not much is learnt
Concerns with the van
Turn up late, not much point as children don’t do much in music
Need to ensure that they children participate in activities so worthwhile for everybody
Sometimes when we go to base and there's a lot of other kids and noise there, and our students seem to get quite overwhelmed and scared
Next Step:
To deal with things that are in my control straight away: talk to the other teacher and ask if we can increase the time with each
Make sure that my team works more efficiently, make more time for transporting
Ensure participation and support with all learning when with the other classes
Discuss the issues with regards to worthwhile learning as we are using the teacher's expertise.
Ensure that everyone develops an understanding of why we are doing the different outings.
