STRET.TT.2

 

 

The project is a follow-up of STRET.TT, which developed teachers' competencies and skills for teaching Social Entrepreneurship (SE), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and Philanthropy. The implementation of the previous activities encouraged the project team to continue the idea by enriching the teaching of SE, CSR, and Philanthropy with teaching/learning based on grading competences while learning SE, CSR, and Philanthropy. Two new partners joined the project team whose competences and skills will be an efficient added value to the project content. The project work is enhancing teachers' key competencies by using an innovative and modern approach to entrepreneurship education comprised of the concepts of SE, CSR, and Philanthropy, thus increasing their capacities in teaching about managing small-scale business ideas, students' companies, delivering social impact, and promoting the values of the social economy and philanthropy to students from an earlier age. The project is motivating and developing teachers' creativity by offering them space to co-create the curricula, implement classes, workshops, competitions, simulations, etc. based on their know-how sharing and international mobility.

The partners are working on competence framework guidelines for high school teachers in the involved schools, especially entrepreneurial teachers, through cross-curricular and cross-sectoral cooperation with NGOs and policymakers. This will ensure further development and education of teachers through competence-based teaching practices and learner experiences up to the highest standards of the profession in the partner schools, as well as serve to assess and validate the key competencies of the school personnel and improve the schools' internal educational policies and practices. Hereby, the teachers have gained experience and knowledge in several trainings where they are developing their competencies in methodology, the Dig.Comp.Edu platform, research, and creation of such competency framework guidelines, experiencing first-hand practices, and continuing through job shadowing mobility to introduce and receive new teaching approaches from different countries.

STRET TT 2 will also embrace digital tools and digital learning, and advance the digital skills of the teachers by creating guidelines on how to use digital tools in reflective assessment and self-assessment of students, especially the SELFIE platform. Teachers will be exposed to these platforms, but also to other already available digital tools and platforms such as Slack, Google Drive, Padlet, Canva, WeVideo, VoiceThread, Mentimeter, AnswerGarden, Blogger, etc., and learn about their usage and potential for education. This pedagogically-led digital transformation in the classroom will facilitate student reflection through digital technologies, supporting independent learning and critical thinking that will increase students' confidence, self-awareness, and motivation through a fun, interactive, and youth-friendly way.
