ePace will be demonstrating its online learner profiling tool; a 45-minute test that evaluates a child’s strengths and weaknesses in 11 critical areas of learning. ePace enables teachers to identify how best pupils learn, to help them to reach their full potential, whilst assisting the school in adhering to the new Ofsted framework. ePace will also be demonstrating
new interactive elements, such as online video tutorials and social networking, which is helping a community of teachers and professionals to interact with and learn from one another. Full demonstrations of ePace, a variety of learner profiles highlighting the scope and depth of the software, and additional teaching features will also be demonstrated on its stand, D73.
The Primary Languages Classroom Awards T
he Education Show 2012 is to host the national Primary Languages Classroom Awards Ceremony 2012. The winners will be awarded live at the show on Friday 16 March at 14.00 on the British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) stand E30. The awards celebrate the exceptional work of teachers throughout the UK in promoting language development at primary level, including the support of English as an additional language (EAL).
Research has indicated that the earlier children begin learning a language, the easier the transition to secondary school where high attainment levels in languages can be harder to achieve. The PLCA Awards are a marker of success for schools in establishing this strong early start, and play an important role as a platform for best practice.
Awards will be presented in five categories; French, German, other (such as Italian, Chinese, Urdu, or Spanish), Welsh and EAL.
The awards will be judged independently by a panel of professional educational and language experts, including classroom teachers and head teachers.
Liz Foxwell, organiser of the Primary Languages Classroom Awards, comments: “We are thrilled to be able to host the fourth annual Primary Languages Classroom Awards at the prestigious Education Show 2012. It is crucial that the education sector takes the time to recognise the hard work and dedication of teachers throughout the UK in promoting languages.” In conjunction with the Awards, the Primary Languages Classroom Awards and EMASUK (Ethnic Minority Achievement Services UK) will also be hosting the Language Information Point at the show for the first time.
Dore showcases personalised exercise programme for pupils with learning difficulties
T
he Dore team will demonstrate how its programme for children with learning difficulties works within schools. A detailed initial assessment includes a consultation with a doctor to establish whether it is suitable. Participants are given a 12-18 month individualised programme of balancing and eye tracking exercises carried out under supervision for 10 minutes twice a day at school with the support of parents at home. Already implemented in three UK schools, the exercises for people with specific learning difficulties aim to improve the efficiency of cerebellar function.
"We are extremely excited to be attending The Education Show to bring to life the ways in which the Dore Programme can work with schools and pupils with Special Educational Needs," comments managing director Crishni Waring. "Following the government announcement that the level of the premium is increasing to £600 per pupil, there has never been a better time to consider the Dore Programme."
