What happens when the flow of water slows down? The river cannot carry so much of the mud and silt that it has collected on its way so it is deposited or dropped or the river bed.

  • Sonali Transcript
    Sport reporting masterclass with Sonali Shah, BBC Sport and Newsround presenter: transcript Hi, I’m Sonali Shah and you may have seen me presenting on Newsround, Match of the Day Kickabout and for BBC Sport. I’ve been all around the world covering different sporting events, like the Beijing Olympics, the Commonwealth Games in Delhi and the Cricket World Cup. Back here in the UK I’ve been very busy too with stuff like Wimbledon, the Epsom Derby and the London Marathon. Here are my sport reporting tips: (clips of Sonali on location at various sporting events) TIP 1: Do your homework. I think the most important thing is do your homework, do your preparation. And it can be done in three bits. First of all read up on the athlete, the participant, the competitor; then you’ve got to read up about the sport. So when I went to the Cricket World Cup I did my research not only in how all the teams did in one-day cricket, but Test cricket too just so that you’ve got a good rounded picture. And then the third thing is you’ve got to read up on the event, so with the Cricket World Cup I reminded myself of how well everyone did at the previous event four years ago. Now you don’t have to know everything but make little notes on cards about interesting facts and then you’ll be well prepared. TIP 2: Know your audience Know your audience, know who’s going to be watching your reports so if it’s going to be your local football club, you don’t need to explain the rules to them.

  • Diverse on Screen Talent Directory
    BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society.

  • NAOS Case Latvia
    NAOS case study Author: Maria Golubeva, Network of Education Policy Centers NAOS: Intellectual Output (O5) case studies Countries face challenges in catering for the diverse needs of migrant students and narrowing the gaps in education outcomes between native students and immigrant students. (Inter)national evidence (OECD 2010 Reviews of Migrant Education) suggest that strategies to raise education outcomes for migrant students need to focus on school level and system level, such as: - preparing school leaders and teachers to meet the needs of diverse student groups; - increasing student opportunity to learn language (mother tongue as well as language of instruction) in regular school lessons; - encouraging schools to build capacity in the area of dealing with diversity; - making collaboration between school and community more effective. The central topic in NAOS is professional capacity concerning dealing with diversity related to migration (in all its different forms). Professional capacity includes innovative forms of cooperation between educational professionals and other professionals dealing with children. NAOS is complementary to the SIRIUS policy network carried out from 2012 - 2014. SIRIUS has promoted and enhanced knowledge transfer among stakeholders in order to improve the education of children and youngsters from migrant background. One of the focal points in SIRIUS was professional capacity. The difference between the SIRIUS activities in this area and the NAOS activities concern the specific focus on pre- and in-service modules for professional development as well as the inclusion of schools in the network. 1 One of the activities is running casestudies (Intellectual Output O5) in three different non-NAOS countries with a focus on an inspiring approach, method or pedagogical act in teaching inclusion dealing with diversity.
