“Teachers Continuing Professional Development:“Qualified Teachers = Successful Learners"
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

There is wide recognition across Europe of the need for educational transformation, and the transformative potential of ICT integration. At the same time, it is widely perceived that there has been a lack of real systemic change in the integration of ICT in teaching and learning practices. These are some key recommendations “It is timely to move away from perceiving ICT diffusion and usage as a goal and instead see ICT as an enabler of teaching and learning". It is not about ICT, but about transformation.“ We should move from accessibility to innovative learning through the support of ICT" These are the lessons learned: - Leadership and institutional change for a renewed strategy on learning is needed - We should move towards a new learning paradigm through learner-centred approaches - Digital competences must be seen as core life and employability skills - Professional development of teachers is the key elemant–the teacher as learner at the centre Offering specific training to teachers is one of the key factors to ensure that an education of quality is generally available and effective. It has repeatedly been stated that teachers have a critical role to play in the development of an education of high quality. "Teacher´s competences are seen as critical success factor" The Project consortium will design Professional Development Modules and a manual for good practice exmples and guidelines on implementation that will contribute to the professional development of teachers and to implement in students the 21st century skills The project intends to bring in teaching practice use the e-portffolio, 1:1 , Ipads/tablets, testing tools for mobile learning in classroom, multimedia learning objects, geo-linked learning trails, learner generated materials, entrepreneurial education and the use of participatory approaches and ICT-based methodologies. The aim of the project is to bring together practitioners and policy makers from across Europe to determine how to develop effective teacher training (including initial teacher training), the key question is “how best to equip teachers with the skills, knowledge and attitudes they need to foster the teaching of 21st century skills to young people”. In that context, participants will have the opportunity to discuss, explore the practicalities with practitioners and develop good examples and guideline on implementation in order to Equip teachers with the specific skills and knowledge. The project results will be that teachers participating in the courses will aquire the competences to design Innovative Learning Environments, new and creative ways of implementing the curriculum and basic conditions for the sustainable use of ICT in education. Teachers will be able to analyse and develop innovative pedagogy and assessment approaches and methods to support these diverse individual learning pathways in order to help learners to acquire new skills for new jobs. They´ll also learn to evaluate the students key competences and 21st centuty skills, they´ll be able to use diverse assessment tools: quality standards, e- assessment and e-portfolios. A detailed workplan will let us reach the desired objectives. The collaboration among qualified European partners will make possible implement teachers CPD and disseminate good practices examples and guidelines on experimentation across Europe. The project fits with the priorities 2020.
