CONTEXT. The analysis of the needs in our Institute (110 teachers&staff and 900 pupils), derived from teachers’ observations/experiences and from the national self-evaluation system, underlines the need of an “international dimension”, that is still missing and nevertheless essential either for students and for teachers. Our school is in a so-called “difficult” context, recognised from our Education Department as a “School at risk”, with a high percentage of immigrants and varied situations of socio-cultural disadvantage. In our school Development Plan (PdM) we have the priority to increase the number of disadvantaged pupils who can reach success in their learning, reaching 25% of successful students in competence tasks during the next 3-4 years. Erasmus + Key action 1 project "Involved and involving", centered around the Key competences is an answer to such needs. Our Educational Plan 2016-2019 contains specific projects linked to the Erasmus EDP, some already in progress, others still to fulfil.OBJECTIVES. The IC Pra’ wants to develop 3 actions, directly inspired by the Declaration of Paris 2015 and the European Key Competences (Council of Europe, 2006), which our National “Indicazioni” recognise as crucial: the first step is the teachers' professional development, in order to reach the students and their competences consequently. AREA 1- Sharing and investigating the teaching&learning process, directly connected to the Competences n. 1,2,3, 5 Communication in mother tongue, Communication in another language, Learning to learn, Basic competences in Maths, Science and Technology, in order to develop teachers’ linguistic and methodologic competences through sharing, exchanging and contact with european collegues. AREA 2- Renewing teachers’ methodologies connected to ICTs usage: Key Competence n. 4 (Digital Competence), in order to develop new strategies and usage of techologies in their didatics, as powerful means to learn. AREA 3 -Becoming inclusive teachers, used to see Europe as a daily learning environment, in order to educate their students as new european citizens, dealing with tolerance and acceptance of diversities: Key competences 5,6,7 (Learning to learn, Interpersonal and Civic Competences, Entrepreneurship and Cultural expression), through an active collaboration with local Associations, Indire and the Etwinning National Agency (in the school we have an European eTwinning Ambassador), with the local European offices (Centro “In Europa”, Antenna Europe Direct) and with associations/schools all over Europe, as well, by eTwinning and Erasmus + projects, Learning Events, Webinars and Seminars. MOST RELEVANT TOPICS: New innovative curricula/educational methods/development of training courses; Early School Leaving/Combating failure in Education; Key Competences (incl. mathematics and literacy) - basic skills. PARTICIPANTS: 6 teachers (Italian, Maths, Foreing Languages, Technology) motivated to learn, share and cooperate. ACTIVITIES. 1)In the previous 5 years, study about teaching and evaluating Competences-based tasks, National "Indicazioni", reflections upon strategies and didatics; European citizenship and contacts by etwinning projects. There will be a specific study about the topics of the courses our teachers are going to attend in UK and Spain during 2016 and 2017 Summer and 2016 Autumn, in order to achieve the most about the aims of our institute. Four teachers agreed to take part to a second round of different activities. 2) COURSES (linked to the 3 Areas outlined so far): CREATIVE METHODOLOGY; CLIL for SECONDARY TEACHERS; METHODOLOGY FOR SECONDARY TEACHERS; ENGLISH LANGUAGE IMPROVEMENT; SPANISH TEACHING METHODOLOGY FOR SECONDARY TEACHERS; SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE CLASSROOM; BRITISH LIFE, LANGUAGE AND CULTURE. 3)October2016-May 2017 and October 2017-May2018: following the line of our own Development Plan (PdM) teachers have to share their experiences linked to inclusive methodology and labs using: the Internet SCHOOL SITE, FACEBOOK school page, with a direct link to a Virtual class already created for this purpose; through the local MEDIA (online and traditional newspapers, radio, tv) that will be involved about our activities, such as seminars, final exhibitions, regional meetings, in cooperation with Indire, etwinning, the local Ministry office, Europe Direct, "In Europa" centre. 4)May 2017, 2018 on, during the wide national initiative "Il maggio dei libri" promoting reading: pupils will show their Erasmus materials, readings and products about Diversity, Acceptance, Integration. 5)June 2017&2018: final publications of 1st&2nd year of Erasmus Ka1 results and ehxibitions of the products by children: ERASMUS WALL and PLATE, Erasmus DAY (exhibition/party/open day sharing the experience with families). 6)May 2018 (if with appropriate funds) POP UP Seminar with Pilgrims international experts. 7)September 2018: Public Context to create an ERASMUS CLASSROOM, to carry the action on.
