Development of the In-Service Training Course for School Self-evaluation and Quality Assurance with the ICT tool application
04 December 2002
It aims to contribute to the quality of school management practice.
''Development of the In-Service Training Course for School Self-evaluation and Quality Assurance with the ICT tool application'' aims to contribute to the quality of school management practice by developing an ICT-based in-service training course on school self-evaluation and quality assurance and by creating a network of trainers in order to disseminate best practice and to share expertise on issues concerned.
The activities will be based on an analysis of the needs of potential users. This will lead to: pooling of expertise; sharing of experiences of the project partners; development of the course module and the ICT tool; testing of products; and evaluation and dissemination of results.
The project intends to target educational providers - trainers at university level, headteachers, teaching staff at school, educational associations, authorities, researchers, and policy-makers.

Language Teacher in Residence Project
04 December 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.

ADA (Thinking of Ada Byron) - Alternative Didactic Approach into Science and Technology
04 December 2002
The project will do a comparative analysis in the partner countries to assess the specific needs of girls in approaching scientific subjects.
"ADA (Thinking of Ada Byron). Alternative Didactic Approach into Science and Technology'' proposes to identify the obstacles that prevent women from choosing professions with technological or scientific profiles, to develop an innovative pedagogical approach specific for girls and to train a group of teachers in the three different countries giving them the skills and abilities to make scientific subjects more attractive for girls.
The activities proposed will be thedevelopment of a specific training approach for young girls, training teachers in the involved countries, one workshop and dissemination activities.
The output will be a training course for teachers, a greater consciousness of the target's learning styles and a CD-ROM with the results of the teachers' training.
The target group will include teachers of scientific subjects and schoolheads.

The European Picture Book Collection : A European School Education Training Course
04 December 2002
This training course aims to provide a structure for teachers/teacher educators to help children to learn more about their European neighbours.
''The European Picture Book Collection'' is a European education training course based on the European picture book materials developed during a three year Comenius funded project, using material from 15 EU member states.
The course will be divided into three sections:
- Linguistic knowledge: familiarisation with EPBC materials and focus on linguistic similarities and differences
- Literary analysis: in depth focus on aspects of the visual narratives which texts have in common, plus identification of those aspects which are culturally specific cultural awareness: drawing together the two previous strands by looking at the universal childhood themes which permeate the books.
It is hoped that the course will provide children, teachers and teacher educators with the opportunity to talk about the similarities which exist between European cultures, celebrate differences, and gain greater linguistic literary and cultural understanding, as well a sense of what it means to be European.

Education For Citizenship In Europe
04 December 2002
The purpose of this project is to develop a model for teacher training such that pupils will be able to participate in the roles they will encounter in their lives as citizens in Europe.
This is a three-year project form a partnership of five institutions from five countries (ES, FR, NL, UK, CZ).
The project targets the lower secondary school.
The working model to be employed by the project in pursuit of its aim is to consult with teachers in order to identify good practice both in terms of content and pedagogical approaches.
Based on this research the modules will be developed. Once the modules have been evaluated, guidelines for teachers will be developed. An international in-service training seminar is planned for the third year of the project.
This project takes as its rationale the renewed interest within many countries in the teaching of citizenship in schools and how this might contribute effectively to the development of active democratic citizenship.
In order-to contribute to this development of active democratic citizenship the project sees the need to develop an approach to its teaching and learning that is enquiry and actively based.
In order to effectively manage such teaching and learning, the project sees the need to provide specific training for teachers and to develop a broad range of resources. This the project hopes to do through this proposal
