Our project is called Innovative Teaching Methods - A Way To Reduce Pupils' Absence, a strategic partnership between 5 schools, based on exchange of good practices. We addressed one horizontal priority, open education and innovative practice in a digital era, and 2 school education priorities: strengthening the profile of the teaching profession and supporting schools to tackle early school leaving and disadvantage. We followed one of the objectives of the European Strategy for 2020, which aims to decrease the number of early school leavers under 10%. In order to reduce absenteeism in our schools, we established 3 project objectives: at least 35 teachers trained in terms of innovative, attractive and effective methods of teaching in January 2021; at least 25 pedagogical digital sources created in January 2021; at least 100 disadvantaged students that improved their school situation.The obtained tangible results were : 1 online survey; 1 report showing the result; 1 date base ; 5 PPTs on absenteeism; 1 blog; 3 debates; 4 role plays; 1 online survey on the causes of absenteeism; 1 presentation, 1 demonstration and 1 workshop on Flipped classroom; 1 presentation, 1 demonstration and 1 workshop on Educational video; 1 presentation, 1 demonstration and 1 workshop on Dramatized learning; 1 presentation, 1 demonstration and 1 workshop on Conceptual maps; 1 presentation, 1 demonstration and 1 workshop on Outcome assessment activities; 5 lessons using the Flipped classroom strategy; 5 conceptual maps based on interactive lectures; 10 story telling; 10 workshops for teachers; 5 educational videos; 5 didactic games based on dramatized learning; 5 counselling sessions; 5 evaluation applications; 15 seminars for parents; 4 communication games; 1 Handbook; 1 face book page.
