Continuing working together between 7 teacher training institutes in Europe (6 of the EU and one other partner (PHZ in Luzern, Switzerland).
To promote Long Life Learning by dissemination of the “European Teacher” model (www.europeanteachers.eu) and the developed learning materials of the “FACE IT” project (134362-LLP-1-2007-1-NL) to schools, their teachers and pupils:
- improve the European Dimension in schools
- promote a culture of reflective practice
- promote and stimulate international collaboration between schools
- use innovating methodologies: work with digital learning communities (on the moodle platform) between course members and use “My Own Dictionary” to promote foreign language awareness and learning, a product of the VISEUS project: 1333886-LLP-1-2007-1-DE-Comenius-CMP // 2007 // 3422 (in which the “Hogeschool Edith Stein / OCT” has participated).
To reach this aims we set up a structure for in-service courses for teachers concerning the model of the “European Teacher”
- European Identity (cultural awareness, cultural heritage)
- European Diversity (multiculturalism)
- European Citizenship (Europe – world)
- European Professionalism (way of teaching, school concepts in Europe)
We organize the courses mentioned above in 2011 in four different places in Europe: Riga, Barcelona, Brussels and Graz. Supervisors of the courses will exist of an international team. To promote the course we publish a course brochure.
To promote possibilities for teachers to work international together we publish four e-books containing an abstract of the learning material, reflections on the subject and good practices of international collaboration between schools.
