Lessons learnt

Wedensday 29th, viewed quite a few lessons again at PECI starting with a Maths class where they trialled the use of "clickers" to do surveys, quizes etc from  powerpoints. Kids were really cooperative and interested and the teacher had a great rapport with them.

Visited a visual arts lesson and the room was absolutely HUGE! They had Year 11 & 12 students in the one class. The syllabus for Visual Arts was about 4 pages long for each year group and doesn't have the same structure as ours by a long shot.

Saw an "Entrepreneur" class that was a really great concept where they were responsible for organising and promoting a range of school events involving charity.

A hospitality "dual credit" class was on in the afternoon where a College Teacher came into the school with a School Teacher assisting to teach.

Finally viewed an English class right at the end of the day.

At the end of the day we took a drive to Kingston for dinner. Kingston is a really lovely old fashioned town/city and had tea at the truely Canadian Lone Star!
