Coaxing other staff to have a go at teaching languages
Currently at my school myself and a TA are teaching 7 KS2 classes Spanish between us but next year I'd like some of the class teachers to start taking more responsibility for teaching their own class, even if just for follow up activities to start with and I'm just wondering how to go about approaching staff about it.I know there is lots of resistance from them to teaching languages at all (which I totally understand as many of them just don't feel confident and then there is the time issue)…See More

Welcome aboard! You will see this is a very friendly network.
I will be teaching Year 5 Spanish next year. So maybe we can also exchange lots of resources!

You probably know this already, but just in case - to contact someone just find them in members and click on them. This takes you to their page and tells you a little about that person. Then just leave a message for them in a comment box like this one. Or, if you'd like your message to be private, click on 'send a message' beneath their picture.
Ocasionally you will get messages asking if you would like to be someone's 'friend'. The only advantage to this is if you want to find someone quickly on a large network, otherwise there is really no need and you can happily ignore the request or click 'decline' with no offence to anyone.
Feel free to post comments on the forum discussions and/or blog pages whenever you wish. You should be able to download materials from these posts too, and of course add your own in the same way as you would an email attachment - just follow the instructions on screen.
I hope you find the network useful.
Best wishes, Jo
