Dear all,

please find the news and updates for this week below:

1. Coffee time:  Coffee time with the director has started and so far Nergis Uyan has met three different groups to have a chat over a cup of coffee.

 

2. Reading Club:

ScOLa Reading Club met for the second time last week to share their perspectives on the article “Why Don’t Students Like School?”.  During this two-hour idea-sharing session, the participants discussed their notes on the following questions:

  • What is the author’s answer to the question of why students don’t like school?
    • To what extend do you agree/disagree with the answer?
    • Would that answer guide us into creating the right conditions for learning? How?
  • How would you reflect on the suggested implications?
    • Which of those you believe may have guided your way of teaching so far?
    • Which activity/task types or classroom procedures does each implication remind you of?

The third session will be held on 14.03.2019-Thursday.
