Nikki's Reflection
Since returning to work and starting a new academic year, the Malaysia visit feels like a lifetime ago. The forthcoming meeting with the group members has given the opportunity for me to reflect on the impact the visit has had to both my own professional development and my school.
IMPACT-SCHOOL
- Raised awareness of Malaysia through whole school assembly and display. (Year 2 pupil- I think Malaysia is wonderful and is the best place in the world!)
- Contributed to evidence for International Award. We now have level 1 and are working on the intermediate level.
- Other staff inetersted in international links. The reception teacher is going to India in October and the Year 1 and Year 3/4 teachers are going to Switzerland in February 2010.
IMPACT-MY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
- Opportunity to reflect on and appreciate my achievements so far.
- Increase in motivation.
- Awareness of global education issues and diversity.
IMPACT -PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
- Ability to feel proud of my achievements.
- Increased global awareness.
- More motivated at work.
- Made me want to travel more and explore different cultures.
Hi Nikki!
ReplyDeleteLove your post. I really agree on the motivation front - everyone on the trip really inspired me and I feel a lot more motivated this academic year. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
