Teacher Training
In the majority of EU countries, teachers are the ones responsible for the recognition of learning outcomes of any period abroad of up to a full school year. Therefore, developing teachers’ skills in defining and assessing the competencies gained by pupils during their time abroad – broadly in line with the curriculum of the sending school – is the key for enabling and promoting pupil mobility at secondary school level!
The EU Expert Network on recognition of learning periods abroad in general secondary education has developed a Training Model for this purpose. In the period 2022-2024 this Training Model was piloted in Belgium (Flanders), Estonia and Poland, thanks to the initiative of the European Federation for Intercultural Learning in partnership with key stakeholders across Europe. Here you can find the different versions of the Training Model and the research report on its impact, the upcoming training courses by EFIL based on the Model, and request a training course to be delivered by a trainer expert on the Model.
