Cross-Curricular Competencies in the classroom

Teaching and learning in cycle 1

Cycle 1 teacher, Peter Simons, talks about teaching people, not skills, not subjects. He thinks it is important to teach co-operation, kindness, manners, independence, interdependence, friendship and sharing. This is how he translates into cycle one language the cross-curricular competencies that deal first with "being" rather than "knowing".
