Objectives

We want to pay more attention to the individual student (student in the centre!) and have the ambition to be a learning organisation, both for students and for teachers. We have a large International Transition department. This allows our pupils and colleagues to get to know peers from other cultures whose mother tongue is different. Respect, understanding and tolerance are gained by learning other languages, getting to know and discussing other cultures. In short, by helping a pupil to feel more like a world citizen. In addition, it is good to stimulate the diversity and personal growth of our students and colleagues. The international transition pupil requires a different approach, which is why colleagues from the care department are also taking courses. We highly value our international contacts. Thanks to the various courses we take through Erasmus Plus, we are constantly expanding our network and can increase our international offering. An important point in the revised, national curriculum and therefore also on the RGO, is the teaching of 21st century skills or rather: broad skills, which lln need now and in the future. As a school, we want to link up with this even better.

Background

Give substance to The 5 ambitions of RGO: 1. Student in the centre 2. State-of-the-art education 3. Broad curriculum 4. Connection school & stakeholders 5. Professional school as a learning environment Motivating students through various ways of teaching (differentiation, child as individual) and exchanging good practices by teachers from different countries, but also by teachers within the organisation. The increasing number of international activities in our school requires more and more involved colleagues. They will participate more and more actively in exchanges where the language of communication is English. It is important that they have a good command of this language, but also that they realise how important Europe/the world outside Flakkee is. The participants will have to communicate in English during the courses and will thus also expand their personal boundaries. We also believe it is important that the subject lessons are up to date and activating and that the colleagues keep their subject knowledge and (language) skills up to date. We also want the international activities to be supported by several sections, not only the languages, that they actively contribute to internationalisation. Also special needs dept.
