THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2009. PAGE 19.
Elementary schools in St. Marys,
Seaforth and Brucefield played host
last week to visiting teachers from a
school board in Northumberland,
England.
At a regular meeting of the Avon
Maitland District School Board on
Tuesday, Oct. 27, trustees learned
about the visit from system principal
Kim Black, who helped organize the
visit. She described it as an
“excursion,” the official term used
by the visitors’ home school board,
and noted that such trips are a
regular option for teachers in that
part of northern England.
“Sometimes, the teachers don’t
even know where they’re going to
end up,” Black said, adding one
recent excursion landed in Nigeria
and was accompanied by an armed
guard.
Thirteen elementary-level teachers
spent a week in the Avon Maitland
board, and this particular excursion
was designed to focus on what are
called “transition” periods. The
visitors were provided information
about how Avon Maitland handles
the transitions from daycare or
home-care into a school
environment, and from elementary
school into secondary school.
Black said the English teachers
were particularly impressed with the
“Calling All Three-year-olds”
(CATYO) program offered in
cooperation with the Huron-Perth
Catholic District School Board and a
number of local child and social
service agencies.
“They thought that approach was
quite appropriate and they are taking
back lots of information to work
with,” Black told trustees.
The visitors also spent time
observing instructional practices in
one of the three host schools.
