Early Literacy Assessment Project.
04 Dezember 2002
It sets out to produce an early literacy assessment tool to monitor children's progress and identify those at risk of literacy failure in the early stages of schooling.
Training courses will be developed to enhance teachers' awareness of children's literacy acquisition and to apply their understanding to improve their teaching.
The target groups are teachers of young children, especially children at risk of social exclusion, such as travellers, children from ethnic or linguistic minorities or from socially disadvantaged backgrounds.
The activities will centre around the production of a well-researched instrument in four languages (Irish, Spanish, Danish, Slovak). It will be tested with groups of children to refine its sensitivity to profiling early progress and identify those with literacy difficulties at early stages. Teachers will be trained to use it and courses and materials will be developed to disseminate its approach.
The expected outputs will be a test of literacy achievement appropriate for each of the participating countries and training course materials to train teachers in using and interpreting it.

educational needs in the UK, The Netherlands and Belgium.
INSPIRE sets out to try to answer the following questions:
why were these innovative choices made in the threedifferent countries?
what works and what does not work properly; what will happen in the near future?
what do the teachers and parents feel about all these innovations?
which conclusions can be drawn in terms of ''good practice'' for the teachers on the
shop-floor throughout Europe?
The course targets teachers throughout the European Union, and associated countries,
who are interested in current theoretical and practical innovations, in the area of
supporting pupils with learning and behavioural difficulties in regular education.

During the second year, the partners will: start implementing the course; train teacher trainers from all participating countries on the use of the module; disseminate the module via the IT portal; and organise an evaluation meeting and a final conference.
The target groups include: teacher trainers; parent trainers; and future teachers.
The module and the IT portal will constitute the concrete products of the project. In addition, the project will lead to further training of teachers and curricular improvements in the area of teacher-parents relations.

Qualifying Adults for a New Career in Teaching in Primary and Secondary Education
04 Dezember 2002
It aims to combine experiences and skills among partners to produce key tools for professional competence of teachers
These include: a transnationally deployable assessment instrument to screen relevant professional competencies acquired in previous educational and professional settings; and a competence-based curriculum for this adult group which will enable teacher training institutes to offer flexible routings for this adult group.
The project aims to make a substantial contribution to the mobility of teachers in Europe by setting standards for a common framework of a competencies-based teachertraining curriculum.

Fighting Xenafobia Through Intercultural Education and Training
04 Dezember 2002
It aims at fighting xenophobia and racism in Europe by providing innovative teacher education and cooperation in four contexts: Polish, German, Dutch and British schools.
''FXTE - Fighting Xenophobia Through Intercultural Education and Training'' is a three year project.
The project has three core objectives:
- to adapt and establish new pedagogical approaches for European teachers, at both the initial and in-service stages of teacher education, using ICT;
- to develop the role of the school teacher as 'mentor' in promoting intercultural awareness and recognising diversity;
- to strengthen network cooperation and virtual mobility across four European countries.
The main activities include materials production, exploitation of ICT, workshops and designing a framework for organising student teacher mobility.
The outputs will be courses, course materials (book and videotape), an international play written by students from the 4 participating institutions, the publication of a annual letter, a set of guidelines made available through The European Training Foundation.
The project will target teachers, student teachers, school children and local communities.

European methodological framework and materials guide for in-service training - primary foreign languages
04 Dezember 2002
To develop a European training model which assures quality courses abroad for primary school teachers of languages.
The objectives of this project are:
- To provide access to a bank of training materials to support the delivery of such courses, by drawing together existing materials in a support package, and to identify areas for future materials development.
- To contribute to the diversification of languages taught in the primary school and support plurilingualism across Europe through enhancing and extending the provision of in-service courses, and raising awareness of their existence.
The project will involve a network of core partners in UK, France, Germany and Spain, bringing together course providers with the bodies responsible for securing in-service training for teachers in each country. The project is phased to involve an ever-widening group of partners at each stage, bringing in new countries and target languages as it progresses.

Language Teacher in Residence Project
04 Dezember 2002
The project aims at developping a stategy on foreign language teaching.
The project involves teacher training institutions from UK, AT, CZ, DK, ES, ES. Each partner is to work with a minimum of 6 schools.
The programme is designed to increase opportunities for pupils to: experience working with teachers who are native speakers of the pupils' target language; help improve the quality of modern foreign language (MFL) teaching; enhance pupils' second language learning experience, thereby increasing their motivation.
One of the stated general aims is to involve not only the children in the schools, but also their parents, teachers, head teachers, and other adults in the school community in the learning of the languages concerned and the culture of the participating countries.
In terms of products/outputs, the project aims to develop curriculum modules and supporting materials to assist teachers moving to work as MFL teachers teaching their native language in a different member state.
The target groups are mainly trainee MFL teachers about to complete their training courses, and experienced MFL teachers seeking to teach in another EU state.
The project will in particular devise courses and materials for trainee teachers as they finish their initial training and spend three weeks as MLF Teacher in Residence (funding for this to be bid for through Mobility Projects funding).
The Activities will produce materials to:
- prepare teachers for work in a host country before they travel;
- prepare schools and host teachers to receive guest teachers from other member states;
- prepare intensive orientation courses to familiarise guest teachers with their host country's education systems and MFL pedagogy.
The Language Teacher in Residence Scheme claims to be a unique project in which MFL teachers from another member state work alongside a host teacher as an additional classroom resource. It extends a programme piloted in UK to other European States viz. ES, AT, DK and CZ.
