Mr Kelly will attend the three week immersion course in Malaga in order to meet the GTC Scotland standard residency requirements in a foreign language in order to achieve full registration as a Spanish teacher in a secondary school. As a school we encouraged Mr Kelly to complete the three year CCEd Spanish course as an additional teaching qualification at the University of Strathclyde. We want Mr Kelly to teach Spanish to pupils in S3 to S6 and to encourage as many pupils as possible to achieve SQA certification in Spanish. This course offers the opportunity for Mr Kelly to form partnerships with colleagues and with schools in Spain. Pupils will be able to use ICT in order to communicate with pupils in schools abroad. It will improve Mr Kelly's fluency in Spanish by updating his language skills. The course will also enable Mr Kelly to develop cultural awareness of Spain and enhance his methodological expertise in the teaching of the Spanish language. Mr Kelly will share teaching methodologies and resources with the all of the teachers in our school. The course will give Mr Kelly an opportunity to develop his own skills and expertise in the Spanish classroom by sharing ideas and by considering how Spanish is taught in different countries in order to improve the teaching and learning experience in Buchanan High School and to find new ways of motivating our pupils with Additional Support Needs to succeed.
