The Institute D. Berti has about 1,200 students, of which 8% are foreigners and 3% have special educational needs (BES). The student population is mainly female: 87,02 % to 12,98 % of females against males with a constant distribution rate over the five years. The staff consists of 99 teachers, including two employees of the executive and 6 teachers with the task to intervene into areas considered strategic for the realization of the educational goals of the institute. The teachers with an open ended contract represent a very high percentage (87.6 %) and have an average age-range in between 45 and 54 years. The three main goals of the project arise from an analysis of the context, which shows a small percentage of young teachers, the propensity of older teachers to stay in school for many years and to use generalized models of traditional teaching to mainly transmit knowledge. From this comes the need to: 1. promote the educational leadership based on empowerment in the management and the development of human resources. 2. promote the acquisition of new "alphabets" suitable for the requests of the knowledge society (e-literacy, media education, self-assessment and formative orientation ) in order to promote academic success. 3. support paths of active citizenship in a European perspective. The participants are 19 teachers, primarily with a permanent contract, who participate in the implementation of the POF as teachers of not-linguistic subjects, representatives of school projects, and/or networks of schools, department coordinators and instrumental functions. Their prevailing needs are focused on the need for a training aimed at increasing their method of teaching and linguistic skills in the courses activated by our high school. To attend structured courses and meetings / peer exchange with other European countries definitely responds to this need. The planned activities are therefore aimed at training: 1. teachers directly involved in teaching a non-linguistic discipline in the CLIL classes and/or involved in cross-border cooperation and “Esabac” integrated pathways 2. head teacher and staff of the Bureau engaged in the promotion of the digital school 3. teachers who are responsible for education in active citizenship projects. The project aims at exploiting the potential of e-twinning platform for the preparation/training of staff and follow-up experience in order to create a community of practice and develop future partnership projects. The active involvement of participants in the formal signing of a "formative contract" involves the use of tools (Key tool, planning tool and frame tool) designed to encourage self-evaluation and the dissemination of good practice. The expected results in the short term will be tangible and quantifiable: the production of educational materials on media, learning objects in open-source format, assessment tools, and website references, examples of e-portfolio, increase of networking and participation in virtual communities. The medium-term impact will result in a virtuous circle of experiences, proactive attitudes, new teaching approaches and methods and new ways of interacting with the classes. The effect of the long-term project will involve the whole school and will result in educational outcomes which will be closer to the standards expected by the Europe 2020 plan by proposing an increased educational offer, with more qualified teaching staff, educational environments that are more communicative, thus suiting the needs of the "new millennium learners".
