Welcome in my class –First 9 steps

• Be prepared. • Have both materials and ideas on hand,

“just in case.” • Have a welcoming classroom. • Sensitize the class. • Make the student feel welcome. • Make sure you know how to pronounce

and spell the student’s name. • Introduce the student to the class. • If possible, learn a few words and phrases

in the student’s native language.• Be a model of respect for the other students

in the class.

Languages“In a new class, where nobody speaks or understands your language you feel like an Alien” (Syrian Boy)

• Find out the level oft the new pupil’s mother tongue

• Let pupils speak in their mother tongue during the breaks (Children should be proud of their language competences.)

• Try to find a word for things in class in each language known in your classroom (let them feel that they are important for the class)

• Let kids learn the languages of their classmates (basic words, phrases)

• Connect every word every text with a real thing (emotions, face)

TraumaWe cannot really do the work of psychologists, but

we should know where we can find help for obvious traumatized children

• they do not speak• they do not want to have any contact with

others• they start to cry, get aggressive without any

warning • they seem to be stressed all the time• they are extremely nervous• cannot concentrate (because they relive the

traumatic situation if there is a sound, a smell, a color, a word … that reminds them of this situation)

Trauma • What can we do for this children in class:

• School=safe and secure place

• “islands of safety” – clear structures

• arrange or take care for a non violent atmosphere

• To feel safe inside to become quiet and to relax: o Breathing concentration exercises

• Rrelationship has a strong protective factor (“most important person” – outside the family)

Hummer, NAMs Mooc 2016

Trauma 

• “I am ok” - strengthen or “repair” the self confidence

• positive and beautiful experiences (pictures, smiles, music, landscape, clouds, animals)

• resources of the pupils (special competences)

• reflect on the future (dreams, visions, wishes)

• if a NAMpupil wants to tell his story, let him tell it, but never force a child to do it.
