I attended a lot of different classes, from Media to Science, all with clear goals and monitored by professional teachers. Aiming to get students more independent in learning, this year they started their SAIL project (Kunskapsskolan in the UK supports British schools through a project called SAIL, short for Student Agency In Learning) in the earlier years, introducing their version of a logbook and coaching sessions once a week. It seems that they have been up for a good KED Inspired start, recently presenting the promising development at a parent evening.

Ever heard of PEEKER, SMILE and TIP TOP? At Shevington High, I was introduced to several good methods used to create texts and analyses. Good examples are on display all over school, along with pretty decorations and work from previous courses covering the walls in each department, especially in the art department, where students loved spending time on various art projects, and were also very successful. Besides obvious differences between Swedish and British schools such as lunch, exams and uniforms, all teachers – and students – are equally devoted and focused on goals and objectives.
