Introducing Latin. Non-specialist Latin teachers talk

Blog Article

This article describes the ways in which four non-specialist Latin teachers are introducing Plungers Latin to their schools1.The interviews reported here took place in four secondary schools in London and the South-East in 2019.The interviews were informal and were held with the teachers while I was consultant on behalf of the charity Classics for All while training non-specialists to introduce Latin into their schools, where no classical subjects had been offered previously.Teachers use Ski de fond - Homme - Bottes - Classic Latin to meet Ofsted targets for the uptake of the English Baccalaureate (henceforth EBacc2) and to provide a broad and ambitious curriculum for all students.

Resources and subject knowledge provide intellectual challenge and also stimulation.In conclusion I recommend greater support from the Department for Education (DfE) working with subject organisations to develop a coherent strategy for introducing classical subjects in state-maintained schools in order to support DfE and Ofsted objectives.
