A better teacher, a better pupil!
Date du début: 6 août 2014, Date de fin: 5 août 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The increasing demands of the labor market stimulate our organization to improve the quality of our practice. To be a strong organization, able to attract more pupils and more parents means to promote qualitative educational services as well as being known at a local, national and international level. On the other hand, the risk of unemployment threatens adult workers with low skills and in this context, a priority for our organization became to stimulate our teachers to develop their competences and to increase the quality of their work. The objectives of our project are: 1. To increase the 7 teachers' competences to deliver qualitative and modern teaching, including ICT tools, 2. To increase the 7 teachers' English language competences and 3. To stimulate the development of long lasting working relationships with teachers from the European Union. 7 teachers will participate in this project. They are between 35 and 51 and they all hold a University degree. 5 of them have basic or no English language skills and no certificate to prove their English level and 2 of them have good enough English language skills. All of them have been very active implementing innovative projects in the school and are willing to develop and implement new projects. However, 5 of them realized that the lack of English language skills acted many times as a barrier in searching for information and resources on Internet, translating useful documents and liaising with teachers from eTwinning platform. The 7 teachers felt that they need more opportunities in order to meet teachers from abroad in order to develop their English competences and to initiate and implement new projects together with other teachers from the European Union. The 7 teachers use partially ICT tools in their teaching but they all feel that they need a qualitative training able to offer an overview regarding the best ICT tools, to help them to understand how they can use the ICT tools in teaching and to strengthen their confidence in using ICT tools. We carefully selected the activities and the methods in order to achieve the proposed objectives. The teachers who will participate to this project will attend an induction training and will receive an induction pack in order to make their training abroad a successful story. 5 teachers will attend an English language training prior to their travel in the United Kingdom in order to help them to improve their English competences. Furthermore, the 7 teachers English language and ICT competences will be improved during their training in the United Kingdom, entitled "Effective Use of Technology in Teaching". The dissemination process will be complex and will include various activities at the local, national and international level in order to share the experience, to stimulate other teachers to improve their practice and to offer examples of the use of modern methods of teaching and the ICT tools in the daily practice. The implementation plan will be carefully monitored and evaluated in order to identify the progress in achieving the objectives, the potential obstacles and the most appropriate solutions. The project's impact will become visible at the local, national and international level. The participants to this project will improve considerably their English language competences and this will increase significantly the quality of their work as they will be able to access different resources on Internet and to communicate with other teachers from the European Union. The participants will gain qualitative knowledge regarding the use of ICT tools and will become more confident in using ICT tools in their daily practice. The parents will have the chance to understand why is important to use modern methods and ICT tools in teaching as they will be invited to participate to different workshops organized in our school. As a result, the parents will acknowledge that our organization is determined to promote qualitative educational services and to improve constantly the teaching practice. The pupils from our school will become more interested in learning and participating to the school's activities as teaching will become more attractive and stimulating. This will decrease considerably the abandon rate in our school. Furthermore, our organization will internationalize our mission as the 7 teachers will talk to other teachers from the European Union about our activities and experiences and two projects will be developed and implemented during the dissemination process together with other teachers from abroad. This will help other teachers from the European Union to learn from our experience and to improve their daily teaching. Furthermore, our organization will become more visible at the local, national and international level and more pupils will be willing to learn in our school. In this context, more jobs might be available in our school and more teachers might join our existing staff.
