Sciences DOs worked with RM today to plan and begin implementation of updates to the Sciences National Glow Group
. Why are the changes needed? A word which often appears in practitioner feedback is “overwhelmed”. The success of Glow means there are a vast array of resources available, and busy practitioners can find there is too much to navigate easily. So we are hoping that you will find the changes beneficial and make Glow an even more useful tool. We will keep you up to date with a date for the new site to go live, and look forward to your feedback to help us improve it further. Many thanks also to the practitioners who joined us “live” to feedback on use of the new Glow Science videos resource.

Online resources for French, Spanish and Italian
I’ve posted a web link in the resources and sharing area of the Modern Languages National Glow Group. Loads of free activities are available on the Euroclub Schools website. Check out the “Jukebox” for Italian arias and resources to go with them. The Birdy Song in French is worth a listen as well, not to mention El Baile de los Vacas!!!
