D4.2 Report on Internal Online and Offline Events

In the I4S online seminars and on-site teacher training events were designed to focus on widening and strengthening practising teachers’ theoretical knowledge and practical competencies and skills which are inducive to the introduction and/or inclusive pedagogy and transformative practices as everyday reality of schools.

The online seminars were elaborated and delivered with the goal that the participants would master the procedural steps of School Self-Evaluation, so that they would be able to use the method in their own specific school environment. The online format made it possible to maximize the number of interested participants. It also allowed for offering abundant structured knowledge input, as well as ample practice materials leading to individual and group creative efforts from the part of the participants.

The on-site training events provided the opportunity for practising and sharing the competencies – critical thinking, creativity, communication and cooperation – needed for the execution of the self-evaluation cycles, as well as these competencies can be applied to introduce other innovative pedagogical practices. Additionally, these events offered space and time for sharing experiences, establishing professional contacts among teachers, for spending time together with fellow professionals, getting inspiration from each other and just enjoying an out of school professional experience.
