My Dear LinkedIn Community, As proud parents, we are raising funds for our two amazing Teams from Gdynia, Poland that have made it to the World Finals of Odyssey of the Mind (www.odysseyofthemind.com) hosted by Iowa State University. For those of you who are not familiar with the concept of Odyssey Of The Mind, this is a brief summary: Odyssey of the Mind (OM™) teaches students how to develop and use their natural creativity to become problem-solvers. Imagine being faced with a problem that requires an original solution. It can be frightening. Now imagine not being afraid to solve that problem – that is what OM members learn. This skill and self-confidence will carry over to all areas of their lives. OM brings the classroom to life as students apply what they learn and combine it with their interests and passions to solve our unique open-ended problems. OM also emphasizes teamwork, budgeting, time management, public speaking, and so much more. This international program is designed to help students at all learning levels grow as individual learners, grow as team members, and to reach their full potential. https://lnkd.in/dfQ4R8-g

WHAT MAKES SCHOOL TRIPS VALUABLE? While the significance of classroom learning in shaping a child's education is unquestionable, the merit of school trips remains a topic of lively debate. Are school trips genuinely educational, and do they hold importance? The optimal learning experience often occurs when students can directly observe, listen, and engage with their surroundings. Multisensory learning, a vital aspect of the educational journey, finds fulfilment through school trips that cater to all five senses. Equipping young individuals with the knowledge, skills, and understanding to thrive in a global society is a fundamental goal. This journey commences with an appreciation of the world, encompassing languages, values, and cultures of diverse societies. School trips offer first-hand experiences that empower young minds to acquire this multifaceted blend of knowledge, skills, and understanding. These activities, each in its unique way, contribute to the cultivation of self-esteem, self-confidence, and independence. Moreover, school trips provide a platform for students to immerse themselves in other cultures, fostering new friendships, expanding horizons, and deepening their knowledge. In essence, the benefits of school trips extend beyond the traditional classroom, enriching the educational experience by offering tangible encounters that resonate with each student's sensory and intellectual faculties. #school #schooltrip #charity #charityjobs #sidemen #education #teachers

Reflecting on My Volunteering Experience at Violet InnvoKidz As I look back on my volunteering experience at Violet InnvoKidz in 2015, I am filled with fond memories and gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to such a wonderful institution. My role as a supervisor allowed me to assist the preschool in various capacities, focusing on curriculum development and accounting. Curriculum Development: I actively contributed to: 1. Designing and implementing age-appropriate curricula. 2. Creating structured lesson plans and incorporating diverse teaching methods. 3. Regularly assessing and adjusting the curriculum to meet the students' needs. 4. Offering guidance and support to the teaching staff. Accounting: In my role, I managed financial matters, ensuring transparency: 1. Maintained accurate financial records. 2. Assisted in budget planning and tracking expenditures. 3. Generated financial reports for the school's management. Throughout my voluntary role, I upheld professionalism and contributed to the school's mission, gaining valuable insights into education and financial management. This experience has been incredibly rewarding and has provided me with skills that I continue to value and apply in my professional career. As I reflect on those days in 2024, I am reminded of the importance of giving back and the lasting impact such experiences can have on both personal and professional growth. #Volunteering #Education #CurriculumDevelopment #Accounting #ProfessionalGrowth #VioletInnvoKidz #ReflectingOnThePast

The Importance of Teacher Wellbeing During the Summer Break 👩🏫   With the arrival of the summer holidays, it's the perfect time to appreciate the importance of teacher wellbeing. At PaJeS, we understand that teaching is a demanding profession that requires immense dedication. The summer break provides a much-needed opportunity for our educators to rest, recharge, and rejuvenate. ⛱   Here are a few tips to help you do just that.   ✅Reflect and Recharge 🕶 The past academic year has been especially challenging, with teachers navigating significant obstacles in the wake of the war to ensure the continued wellbeing and education of their students. The summer break is a great time to reflect on achievements and recharge mental and physical batteries. Taking time out can positively impact overall health, mindset and effectiveness in the classroom.   ✅Self-Care 🌴 Self-care is essential. Whether you’re reading a book, enjoying a long luxurious bath (maybe not ideal in this heatwave) or simply spending time with family and friends, activities you enjoy can help you return to school feeling refreshed and motivated. Remember - putting yourself first isn’t selfish; it allows you to recharge so you can be there for others.   ✅Professional Development and Network 🤝 While relaxation is key, the summer can also be a great time for light professional development or at least planning for the coming academic year. Keep an eye on the PaJeS Training and Events website to sign up for our upcoming workshops, CPD’s and events. https://lnkd.in/dJdsPy25. Exploring new teaching methods, or simply connecting with colleagues to share tools and strategies can provide fresh ideas for the upcoming school year. This is a good tip if you feel you have the mental and physical strength to do so. If not, it’s best to switch off completely!   ✅Looking Ahead 👀 As we look forward to the 2024-2025 academic year, it’s important to carry forward the lessons learned over the past year. A well-rested and motivated teacher can make a significant difference in the classroom, inspiring students and creating a vibrant learning environment so enjoy your break!   All of us at PaJeS wish all our wonderful educators a restful and rejuvenating summer. Your dedication and hard work do not go unnoticed, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
