Welcome to our September Newsletter!
We’ve spent the last few months exploring each letter of S.P.E.C.I.A.L., although not in this exact order. Now, our journey comes to a close by delving into a concept that can greatly benefit you as a Teacher!

Curiosity is often seen as the key to opening up Learners’ hearts and minds, but Enjoyment is like the lock that curiosity fits into. These two concepts are closely connected.

That’s why we’re putting the spotlight on the “E” in S.P.E.C.I.A.L. this month – Enjoyment takes centre stage in this newsletter!

But what exactly do we mean by ‘enjoyment’? How can you encourage it in your classroom? Is it the same as having fun or something deeper tied to real learning? Can making Learners laugh be enough, or is there more to it? And most importantly, how does enjoyment relate to Learner success?

All the work streams in the DBE-E³ team have been active over the past month and we are
very pleased to share our progress with you.
