The knowledge, skills
and attitudes of each of Europe‘s 6 million teachers are of great importance.
The quality of their teaching has a direct effect upon learner‘s attainment.
The demands made on educators/teachers, which is our target group, are
increasing andchanging. They are called on to play a
key role in modernizing education. To do that, they need to develop their own
knowledge and skills. Our project's main objective is retaining older
teachers/trainers, who is our target group, in employment through the provision
of appropriate educational opportunities supported by innovative learning
methods.
The project will
create and propose:
-
Open Multilingual collaborative platform with
Digital and Soft skills courses consisting of 6 modules each for study in
English,
-
Lithuanian, French, Greek, Swedish, Bulgarian
for 60 hours;
-
a set of lesson scenarios or lesson plans
compiled in e-book (50 lesson samples);
-
innovative informal training program for
professional development of elderly educators, applicable at European level;
-
State of the Art Report about informal digital
and soft skills training for educators in partner countries;
-
National and international pilot trainings in
soft and digital skills
Expected results and
impact is visible improvement of educators' professional competence,
intellectual thinking, practical, transferable skills: the ability to plan
& deliver trainings using ICT tools creatively responding to the changes of
the modern world; increasing educators' motivation of using languages and ICT
in communication and obtaining international experience in professional
development; new and modern cooperation between the organizations which can
lead to new projects of cooperation in non-formal education for disadvantaged
groups.
