Digital Teacher Academy (ERASMUS) Project
The main aim of the project is to improve pre-service and in-service schoolteachers’ practical training in EU countries, reducing professional attrition. To achieve this, the project team are developing a digital platform with a learning community based on reflective practice bringing together providers of initial teacher’s education (pre-service education) and continuous professional development for teachers(in-service education).
The platform will be a virtual common environment for teachers in transition (pre-service teachers or students, newly qualified teachers, beginning teachers or in-service teachers), school-mentors, HEI teachers and continuous education trainers. This project benefits from the methodology of Problem- Based learning (PBL) and the development of a reflective practice guided by a trainer/mentor and shared with a Learning Community.
The consortium is composed by teacher education providers in initial and continuous training from Belgium, Czech Republic, Ireland, Poland, and Spain, in order to propose a shared development process among European countries, and to define a useful tool for teacher training, taking advantage of current technological capabilities, and offering quality training for all, without barriers to social accessibility or capacity.
