SAW in the USA

SAW has been running complementary projects with educationalists in the US since its inception.

In 2008 Professor Osbourn ran a science and poetry workshop for 7-9 year olds on the theme of ‘Maple Syrup’, as well as a workshop for trainee teachers at the School of Education at Salem State College, Boston.

Salem State has long been an advocate of the SAW approach, and SAW exercises continue to be part of the teacher training delivered by the institution.

This project has a life of its own. It has captured the imaginations of not only my colleagues, but my students and their students and schools.

When I was doing my lesson plan I was struck by how many frameworks I touched upon in this seemingly simple lesson.
