INTEGRATION INTO ONGOING ACTIVITIES If your partnership mainly deals with pedagogical or management issues, please explain how the project will be integrated into the ongoing activities of the participating organisations. During the process of preparation the collaborating teachers focused on their national curricula, materials, methodologies and pedagogical strategies. They were aware that the project activities should be integrated into regular activities and be included in the curriculum of the participating students. The teachers recognised educational issues which corresponded with the areas encompassed in the subject of the project. To carry out the PEDAGOGICAL INNOVATIONS projects all staff at schools will be involved. Teachers can participate in either BETTER LANGUAGE - BETTER LEARNING programme or the HIDDEN TALENTS one. All teachers whose subjects require reading competencies will focus their attention on this aspect in their subject texts. Language teachers will organise extra lessons outside or inside of the school schedule, depending on the local circumstances. For instance, Hungarian and Polish teachers will provide extra lessons to support their students. Polish Teachers class I-III, who will carry out the Ministry of Education programme of Individualisation of the Learning Process, will include the BETTER LANGUAGE programme into the previously mentioned one. In Sweden, all teachers will be educated in how to improve language skills. Because of the low Swedish students’ results in reading and writing, a special training program will be organized for teachers. To support the pedagogical aspects of the INNOVATION project, all involved teachers will organise extra activities according to the needs of their students. Besides afternoon clubs and depending on local convention, a school assembly will be chosen to present students’ talents. In addition, drama workshops and/or drama club will be organized in each school to support students’ comprehension development. In cooperation with local libraries various competitions will be organised. A few events during each school year will be organised to discover children’s hidden talents. For instance, the GOT TALENT event that was organised in Polish school was highly appreciated by students. The event will be repeated in all partner schools. Art and Music teachers will organize a spring music show in every grade and invite the public. The show will be filmed and edited by students and shared on You Tube. The show will also be documented on a DVD. Students will show their work in Wood and Needle work by taking pictures and presenting it in a slideshow that will be published on the Wiki and the website.
