Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our starting point was more than seven years ago, when our TEA project came to life. It is defined as a platform whose aim is to draw together and unite all teachers of the first stage of ESO, in order to work as a real team and follow the same pedagogical and educational criteria. A great diversity of students, high rates of early school leaving and low academic results, there was an urgent need for the IES Severo Ochoa in Elche to be involved in new projects in order to seek solutions. Our aims in this project were: To contribute to improve our students basic skills acquisition. To initiate us into new ways of assessment by means of the observation in some European countries. To innovate and experiment to address diversity, creating links to promote cooperation and staff mobility by sharing experiences with other European institutions. To improve professional practice with the observation of other realities To enrich our methodology through the awareness of what is done in other European countries. To share new organizational proposals with other European teachers. To learn other ways to involve families and the environment where the school is located in. To learn new ways to deal with students at risk of dropping out. To broaden our teachers' minds by means of the visit of the different cultural and linguistic heritages. To increase the linguistic competence of the participant teachers.. To Improve the quality of teaching and learning process. To develop new ways of organizing the School and explore new ways of teaching. To increase the competence level of teachers in order to keep on our innovative process. In order to reach our objectives, we applied for four mobilities in four European countries. There we have observed teaching practices. We are aware of the importance of the choice of teachers. This is the reason why the four selected teachers were related to our innovative project to facilitate the dissemination and, in addition, two of them are directly involved in the school organization. The courses we carried out were: 1- TEACHING SKILLS FOR TEACHERS (ENGLAND), It was held in Porsmouth from 2 to 6 of March. Course organized by TELLUS GROUP.
