e-Twinning … and information from Skolverket about assessment (at last!)

It really feels like autumn now, doesn't it! A great opportunity to explore ways of working on-line - especially with schools in warmer climes!

The Education Guardian had a good 'how to' article about forging links with schools overseas this Tuesday:

The e-Twinning EU Project is mentioned there, but here's their link separately:

Both the e-Twinning Project and the British Council (linked via the Guardian article) have some really good suggestions for how to get collaboration with a school outside Sweden underway.

Skolverket have also recently published another Commentary document about the new syllabus for English, this time focussing on how to grade pupils' performance:

They're very careful to describe the limitations of this document in great detail (!), and it really only takes up examples of written performance, but at least it's something!
