We had seriously good fun last week in Stratford with 27 Teacher's Aides from 7 schools coming together for professional learning. We learned more about our roles, some useful strategies especially around simplifying the way we give instructions (that's where the blocks came in :) and using video to self reflect and shift our practice. We finished the afternoon with some first steps programming using Duplo, blocks and paper. Not a computer in sight. I'd love to see your schools now that these amazing people are back in their classrooms with all their enthusiasm.
Here's just some of the feedback:
