Staff job-shadowing
Start date: Dec 31, 2014, End date: Dec 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our county was one of the first in Norway to introduce a lap-top for every pupil. Since 2007 we have been working on the integration of ICT in our teaching and learning. Our school have three priorities for our development activities: We want to be better at classroom management, better evaluators and better users of ICT in education. All these priorities are closely linked to the use of ICT in our school. Our participation in the activities described in this project is an important way to develop our school in these three fields. By sending these 20 teachers to participate in job shadowing and to participate in courses which focus in developing creativity and autonomy we want them to learn different organizational approaches in the classroom and new approaches in didactics. We want our teachers to learn from other teachers’ and countries' ways of working with subjects and see how the pupils can be more actively involved in their education and training and also in self-evaluation . We will see how creative approaches can increase motivation and autonomy and can be better integrated in the use of ICT. Our main focus is on job-shadowing because we have seen that there is a great learning effect when there is a one-to-one relationship between two colleaugues from different countries and different school cultures teaching the same subjects. The participants will mainly be teachers of languages and history but there will also be teachers of natural sciences and mathematics. The teachers are engaged in school development and have an eager interest in didactics and ICT. Particpation in international activities financed by Erasmus+ will help our teachers gain a broader insight in the themes we are working on in our development plan and in their professional ambitions related to the subjects they teach. We will work closely with our partner schools which we have established contact with several years ago and with whom we already have carried some small projects with and where our directors already have met. Our ambition is to increase considerably the number of teachers who participate in European collaboration activities. We want them to learn new and better practices in other countries and also to clear the ground for future school partnerships. Focusing on collaboration with non-english speaking countries in Europe will certainly motivate our teachers for foreign language learning but also strengthen the European dimension in our school generally and by the teachers specially.
