ICTPIED is a two year project with UK, Austria, Germany, Romania and Portugal. It will produce a training curriculum and courses for School International Coordinators (a generic role description). The rationale for this project is the growing need for training for this group as the internet enables international partnerships to touch the lives of more students and teachers. Projects do not always recognise EU boundaries and the project includes potential for dissemination to Third Countries. It will also relate closely to inclusion and to intercultural skills which are increasingly relevant as workers become more mobile and schools struggle to integrate the children of migrants. It will build on previous work carried out on professional development for teachers equipping them to act as European/international coordinators. It brings together a partnership with curriculum development skills plus expertise in IT, collaborative learning and in school links.The project will create groups of practitioners to develop collaboratively new content and a course curriculum. It will then trial a pilot course, after evaluation to be included in the LLP catalogue. This will include follow-up studies with attendees, their students, other staff members plus the impact of the training on school policy. The course will be distinctive in that teachers from Third European countries (involved in Connecting Classrooms Europe) will be externally funded to attend. They will also highlight ways in which schools in these countries can work collaboratively with EU schools through the creative use of IT.The immediate impact will be to create a cohort of EU teachers equipped to act as international coordinators, use innovative training methodologies and to become leaders and disseminators. Online content will also be further trialled with a virtual community. The British Council will disseminate the project to its Connecting Classrooms network currently of 5016 schools in 60 countries.
