Retomamos nuestro trabajo tras un breve parón durante el que hemos tenido tiempo para hacer una pequeña evaluación de nuestro proyecto, su próximo final y su futuro inmediato.
Volvemos con el tema del intercambio a Lytchett Minster School, ya que, afortunadamente, aún colean las reflexiones por parte de alguna de los participantes en la primera fase de esta aventura cultural y lingüística. Es el caso de Renée Goupil, una de las profesoras acompañantes de los alumnos británicos durante su estancia aquí.

Pasado un tiempo, nos envía sus reflexiones, entre las que destaca cómo esta visita la ha reafirmado en su creencia en que el futuro de la educación pasa por el estrecho trabajo colaborativo entre el profesorado y si es posible, enfatizando la importancia de ahondar en las diferencias culturales tanto de los docentes como de los alumnos.
Dentro de 13 días nos volveremos a ver, ahora allí en Poole, donde nuestros alumnos volverán a demostrar su manejo del idioma, su soltura vital y su grado de compromiso -muy alto por lo ya demostrado- con esta intensa actividad.
Os dejo con las palabras que, cariñosamente, nos ha enviado Renée desde la maravillosa Dorset.
'As a French
language assistant from Canada, working at Lytchett Minster School for a couple
of months, I learned a lot during my week in Jaén. For me, this school exchange
has not only been an opportunity to familiarize myself with Andalusia culture.
It also allowed me to get a general idea of the way a secondary school and the educational
system is structured in Spain. Plus, now I know more about the preparation
needed to organize a school exchange.
Spending time
with teachers and students from Sierra Mágina, inside and outside of the
classrooms, was an experience that I value a lot as a future teacher. My observations
and my participation in different lessons extended my comprehension of class
management, of inclusion, of teacher student relationship and of explicit
teaching. Since I have come back to Lytchett, this authentic knowledge helped
me evolve as a tutor, by giving me more confidence. I am convinced that this
'work experience' will also benefit me in the near future: I am starting a
master in French Didactic next year to gain a better understanding of the
teaching and learning process.

My stay in Jaén has
inspired me to pursue my journey in different teaching environments. I was
really pleased to discover the Erasmus + project because I strongly believe in
collaborative actions between teachers from different backgrounds. In my
opinion, cultural diversity is a key in education: everybody, teachers and
students are opening up their possibilities by sharing their life for a while with
people from another country.
Sierra Mágina and
all the lovely people I met during this trip helped me specify more my professional
and personal aspirations.
Thank you so
much! I feel blessed!
Merci beaucoup!
Je suis chanceuse!'
