This output includes a series of online training resources designed specifically to give teaching staff enhanced skills and confidence in delivering on line teaching and the use of IT in their teaching role. Using materials, shared idea and collaborative work, partners, and importantly students, will contribute to this substantial pack which we aim to make available in all five languages of the project (English, Welsh, Spanish, Turkish and German).
The material will be trialled throughout the project term, amended if needed, evaluated and delivered by all partner schools before finalizing into a roll out teacher pack.
We will also deliver support materials for teachers and links to the classroom materials also available as an output of this project.
We anticipate the impact will be a greater understanding of teaching methodology, what software is available and how to use them efficiently and teachers will be better equipped to meet the needs of learners, upskilling them to be future-ready.
