Partnership in Education to Improve Teaching and Learning

Description

The project will be implemented by international partnership of four institutions/organisations from 3 European countries: Kuopio Education Department (Finland) Ventspils Pilsetas Domes Izglitibas Parvalde (Latvia), Leeds Children`s Service (United Kingdom) and Valmieras pilsētas pašvaldības Izglitibas pārvalde (Latvia).One of the aspects of teachers` professionalism is the network of collaboration among colleagues and, in particular, professional learning communities designed in schools to ensure professional learning and socialization. It contributes to the development of a learning culture for educational establishments, which is a source of innovation in education. It is effective in partnership with local government institutions, education experts, entrepreneurs and other public stakeholders in improving the quality of education.A new, more effective form of professional development that would contribute to changing the role of teachers, understanding the importance of their activities and continuing, meaningful professional development is the active learning of teachers in their workplaces, which provides for the prompt testing of their lessons, reflection with colleagues, evaluation of their work and performance, joint planning of future activities, adjustment according to the educational needs of the pupils, school and city/region. A supportive learning environment needs to be developed in order to succeed in ensuring school embedded teachers` learning and growth. In our case these emphasis is being put on in the exchange of innovative practice of management of introduction of competence-based content in school education, especially – implementation of new methodological approaches in the field of different school subjects; developing innovative teachers` in-service training activities.The main objective of the project is to establish a partnership for the introduction of innovative forms of teachers` professional learning and development and to ensure sustainable performance in line with the requirements of changes in the national education system.In order to promote action to achieve the objective, the project will include:1) to explore and practice the experience of changing European education systems in action, with emphasis on promoting teachers` collaboration in the planning and implementation of the education process in the institution, as well as productive collaboration with local education management organisations and education experts, which will result in acquiring new teaching skills and competences and being able to adapt their teaching skills to the changing environment.2) to identify examples of good practice, study and compare opportunities for the transfer of experience to educational establishments, as well as at city/municipal level, and develop a methodological tool to support teachers.3) to promote the results of the project.The project involves: specialists of education boards of the local self-governments, responsible for the implementing education policy and reforms; middle level teachers-leaders, responsible for implementing new methodological approaches in the field of school subjects; teaching new skills, etc., indirectly - education experts, teachers.In different countries, educational reforms are implemented in different ways, consistent with local culture, economics and policies. This means that in each partner country the situation and the level achieved in implementing the reform are different. Consequently, there is a unique opportunity to identify the current situation in each country, to learn from errors and failures, to find ideas for the transfer of experience, to see how teachers and subject field coordinators/leaders work in practice, in partnership with local government, external education experts.The Project consists of:1. Training activities: 2 3-day study visits for partner coordinators (8 participants in each meeting), 3 5-day study visits for subject field coordinators/leaders (36 participants in each meeting); 1 3-day study visit for both - partner coordinators and subject field coordinators/leaders.2. Development and preparing of the Intellectual Output - “Experience Stories” resource for methodical recommendations/training/guidance material. 3. Dissemination activities (including the multiplier event - Final conference).The expected impact are the deeper understanding and greater knowledge of organizing and supporting teachers learning collaboration in the partnership, and its role in the development of learning achievements for both pupils and teachers, as well as in general - school development, in particular the development of school culture.The experience and understanding of each partner will enrich all stakeholders in general, give confidence in continuing the changes that have been undertaken and ensure the very important effects of the teachers` learning network.
