Teachers urged to take part in #NakedTeachingDay
EB News: 27/09/2016 - 10:55
Teachers are being urged to take part in #NakedTeachingDay and teach their pupils without any classroom resources.
The campaign is organised by the World Wide Education Project and challenges teachers to ‘teach naked’ without resources such as worksheets, whiteboards, textbooks and even pens.
#NakedTeachingDay is designed to raise awareness of the plight of children from less developed countries who attend makeshift schools in slums, refugee camps etc.
It is taking place on Friday 30 September and teachers can visit www.nakedteaching.org for more information on how to get involved.
The Schools minister is calling on schools to enhance PE and school sport opportunities for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), in the spirit of the Paralympic Games.
The research by charity Support Send Kids, commissioned by Sky News, shows that two out of five (40 per cent) parents of children with SEND had to leave their jobs, and 33 per cent reduced their hours.
