From November 24 to 27 this year, we visited Immaculate Conception School in Malta for job shadowing. During the visit, we developed our competencies related to the Erasmus+ project of Tauragė Jovarai Basic School in Lithuania, “Teaching students with special educational needs and multilingual learners, using digital and innovative methods in a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) environment”

We strengthened our inclusive education competencies by observing how the school organises support for SEN students: how teaching assistants work, how individual learning plans are implemented, and how psychological, social, and holistic support is provided. This helped us better understand how UDL principles allow teaching to be adapted to different student needs.

We also advanced our digital teaching competencies. The girls use 2-in-1 devices, and interactive IT tasks are applied during lessons. These tools help differentiate activities and provide students with greater autonomy.

We further improved our subject-specific and methodological competencies in a multilingual setting by observing lessons in English literature, Italian, French, Maltese, and other subjects, and by learning about the Maltese assessment system.

Finally, we enriched our competencies in international collaboration and cultural awareness by sharing experiences with Maltese colleagues.

We sincerely thank the school community for their warm, attentive, and inspiring welcome.

 Respectfully,

Roma and Vida.
