First round GTTP teacher's thoughts

A new GTTP teacher had this to say regarding the first ILP days....

Both days were very enjoyable for everyone. I don’t think there was a single student (or adult) who did not enjoy the activity – everyone could get something from it and it offered opportunities for everyone to achieve. It was good to have complete freedom to produce something that was both interesting to the individual and also which made a contribution to the whole. Personally, it was something I had not done before and I now have lots of ideas about how to use the Stop Motion in Maths!

On the Tuesday, Jo Adkins gave a little presentation on e-waste which I think helped enormously and ensured that the students were clear about what e-waste actually was. I would recommend that something like this is adopted for future days, although we do need to be careful not to lead the students.
