Creativity in the Classroom
Date du début: 1 juil. 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

This project, Creativity in the Classroom, will begin with a pre assessment of the needs of the participants and an action plan of what they wish to gain from the experience. The two participants are Fionnuala Magee and Zoe Heatherington. Both teach collaboratively in a job-share capacity and have a passion for anything creative, be it art, drama, music or dance. They actively employ this creativity in their teaching and strive to create a fun atmosphere for learning. They wish to enhance their teaching and develop new methods of good practice, specifically through the means of drama. With information and computer technology being a key focus in the schools development plan, our two participants also wish to improve their existing skills in this area and build a bank of new skills that will be influence their teaching and in turn, the pupils' learning. The participants will engage in training in a new and current methodology which addresses the needs of European students in a practical manner. Interacting in Madrid is an excellent course to help Fionnuala and Zoe to meet their project needs as this training enhances teachers' skills, confidence and competence in communication, creativity and ICT. The venue offered by the course providers opens many possibilities to interact with appropriate and comparative institutions working toward a common European goal. Fionnuala and Zoe will be encouraged to cooperate integrating content across the curriculum and through this training learn how to do this in an effective and enlightening way which will motivate learners. Upon completion of the training, these participants will be tasked with monitoring the effectiveness of the training as well as spreading the good practice throughout the school. They will also continue to develop and build their links across the European Union through various means that will be introduced in their training alongside the methods they have already employed within their classroom. Short term gain from the training will be the personal and professional development of each of the participants along with the renewed motivation and enthusiasm that comes with working as a team to support and learn from each other, share ideas and develop means of good practice. This will then be disseminated to colleagues of the school and shared with the key stakeholders. Long term, we would envisage the impact to be observed throughout the school through the teaching methodology as well as through the pupils' enthusiasm and learning. Cross European contacts will be continued through various modes of communication to include eTwinning, MOODLE and other networking forums.
