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, the 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 under the Erasmus+ project Empowering Teachers for Automatic Recognition (ETAR) – funded by the European Commission.

Below you can find the different versions of the Training Model, the research report on its impact, and a selected network of expert trainers on the Model from around Europe.
