§   Meeting with the teachers in charge of discipline: methods applied to guarantee a peaceful coexistence between both students and teachers.
§   Attendance to a peer tutoring meeting related to incidents and the follow-up procedure.
Meeting with the Erasmus+ Coordinator: assessment of the stay, exchange of ideas and experiences, suggestions for future collaboration, etc. 

Además, participé en una clase sobre literatura griega moderna en la que se llevó a cabo un análisis comparativo entre Joanni Ritsos y Federico García Lorca. Las profesoras Dora Glaraki,  Despina y Anastasia pusieron en práctica una demostración se cómo trabajar con los alumnos la metodología "world café". Los alumnos, como se aprecia en las fotografías, divididos en grupos, se sientan en mesas dirigidos por un alumno. Mientras todos los alumnos cambian de mesa y van participando en todos los grupos, el alumno que dirige se mantiene en su sitio. Las mesas, colocasa de cuatro en cuatro, están forradas de papel, de tal manera que ese papal de tamaño de mural sirve, a su vez, para ir esribiendo sobre él las conclusiones de cada grupo que pasa. Así, cada alumno guía trata un tema y todos los alumnos van pasan por todos los temas. Al final, cada alumno guía expone los resultados de lo trabajado con todos los alumnos. Cada uno de los temas tiene un contenido relacionado con el tema a tratar: Jiannis Ritsos, García Lorca, La Guerra Civil Española, el dictador Metaxas, etc... Además, incorpora preguntas y reflexiones que propician la conversación que lidera el alumno guía. Tiene la ventaja de que todos los alumnos participan, al ser los grupos pequeños.

Viajamos a Filipolis, Kavala y Amfípolis. Los profesores de historia habían preparado previamente la actividad para que viéramos cómo se ponía en práctica. De esta metodología he extraído varios recursos para poner en práctica los conocimientos sobre cultura clásica: trabajo previo por grupos sobre mapas y guías arqueológicos para prepararar el viaje. Exposición previa en el aula bajo la supervisión del profesor. Exposición in situ por parte de los alumnos con la interpretación de los mapas. Selección de textos para su traducción previa y recitación in situ de algunos pasajes históricos y de temas mitológicos relacionados con la visita.

EVALUATION AND RECOGNITION OF THE MOBILITY


§   The receiving organisation will issue an attendance certificate together with a report that their Assessment Committee will send to both the Headmaster of the sending institution and the Erasmus+ coordinator. The report will show the degree of participation and involvement in the activities carried out during the stay, the participant’s attitude, the attendance as well as the degree of accomplishment of the proposed objectives.
§   Self-assessment: the participant will fill in an online Google questionnaire to analyse the acquired abilities, observed methodologies, suggested possible improvements, future projects and collaborations, etc.
§   The sending institution’s Evaluation Committee will assess each of the activities carried out during the job shadowing mobility and the acquired skills. It will gradually assess the introduction of new methodologies to be introduced in the English Department didactic programming for the next school year (2019-2020).
§   Final assessment: Both the participant’s self-assessment and the assessment of the designated tutor of the receiving organisation, Mrs Theodora Glaraki, will be taken into consideration.
Before the end of the third term, the Evaluation Committee will publish the assessment of the job shadowing mobility. The assessment results and the documents will be part of the mobility’s dossier. The degree of accomplishment of the mobility’s objectives as well as the participant’s involvement will be taken into account for future mobilities.

COMPETENCES TO BE ACQUIRED BY THE PARTICIPANT

Here you have the competences to be acquired by my participation in the Job-Shadowing.  It is necessary to take into consideration that I am a Latin teacher, so I am going to develop not just competence connected to my subject, Classical Culture, but conneted to general methodologies to teach languages, specially Ancient Greek. In addition I will get to know the education system at this school, specially regarding the way to face students' difficult behavior.


COMPETENCES TO BE ACQUIRED BY THE PARTICIPANT:
§   Implementation of communicative methodologies as the cornerstone of the teaching system of the English Department and the incorporation of such methodologies in the didactic programming of the Department.
§   Implementation of new collaborative methodologies such as flipped classrooms or project work in the participant’s classes.
§   Improvement of coexistence within the classes and the sending institution in general: decrease of the number of incidents as well as the rate of school failure and the subsequent school dropping effect.
§   Acquisition of new tools to improve coexistence and especially the procedures for their implementation in the sending centre.
§   Increase of the awareness of the need to improve the centre’s attention of those students at social risk.
§   Development of the teaching staff’s awareness and motivation to introduce methodological, organisational and curricular changes which reduce both the centre’s failure rate and coexistence incidents.
§   Motivation to start a research process proper to the sending institution in order to create its own model.
