The managerial report of Zinca Golescu National College presented at the end of the school year 2014-2015,tackled 2 important needs regarding the teachers’personal and professional development. On the one hand,the SWAT analysis revealed 80% of the them stated as weaknesses the reduced ability of communication (vertically and horizontally) and of teamwork. On the other hand, the teachers of English in our school complain about the difficulties in teaching subjects in the differentiate curriculum specific to the bilingual classes-the Geography of Great Britain and U.S.A. (9th grade), the History of Great Britain and U.S.A. (10th grade), English and American Culture and Civilization, (11th grade), Cultural Interferences (12th grade), since they have not acquired knowledge on their methodological teaching during the university.To make teamwork more effective, to get a productive workplace, to improve communication and cooperation among stakeholders at institutional, local, national and international level, to boost our institution European dimension, to internationalize the education we provide, to increase English competence of our school staff, the CLIL skills of the teachers of English and to set up new international partnerships, our school designed a two-year-long project called “Innovative Approaches of Institutional Development” meant to enhance our school education quality. Throughout this project, 9 teachers including members of the managing board and teaching staff who are by far interested in their lifelong learning and proficient teamwork are going to attend 4 different courses: 1 dealing with communicative skills development and teamwork cooperation, 3 focusing on CLIL methodology and 1 job shadowing activity. The general purpose of our project is to enhance the communicative-cooperative competences and CLIL methodological approaches to 25% students and teachers. The courses/job shadow have been chosen on the grounds that their main objectives overlap our school’s needs of quality development and internationalization. These training courses aim to:- improve the team effectiveness - model behavior, attitudes and skills in the workplace- provide training and practice for effective communication and performancepose is to offer high standard education in line with the latest European demand- participate in stimulating classroom discussions on key leadership topics- help participants to learn how to inspire your team as a powerful tool for focusing on the future goals, but also important for the current issues- a remarkable improvement of the CLIL methodology of English bilingual classes- a deeper insight into the practices, polices and educational systems in Europe- boost English communicative competence of the participants- provide cooperating and learning in an international context- exchange professional knowledge and practices in a multi‐cultural context- internationalisation of our high school activity by means of participating in training activities abroad and developing strategic partnerships in Erasmus plus programmeIn order to carry out all the project-related activities,we decided to form a project team that deals with each and every aspect from planning, designing, implementing, disseminating to evaluation.Each team member will be responsible for a certain field and the coordinator will guide, monitor and evaluate. The participants in the training sessions will also be part of the implementation team. It is also necessary to mention that the assessment team for participants selection will function for two weeks from the beginning of the project lifespan.We expect to achieve two kinds of project results: the intellectual ones, such as enhanced teamwork management, cooperation and communication skills, positive group work attitudes, acquiring new approaches of teaching CLIL or job shadowing activities, improved English communicative competence, new possibilities of starting a transnational partnership as well as the tangible ones, represented by: reports, power points, newsletters,workshops,website,eTwinning discussion groups, courses, DVD, brochure.
