SHORTLY ABOUT PROJECT
WHY?
Sometimes teachers understand teaching just as transferring of the knowledge; there is a lack of teamwork skills, no connections between knowledge and real life, no alternatives, conflict between national curriculums and declared innovation ideas. Teaching is focused on the results of formal evaluation: grades, levels, etc. It does not meet contemporary needs as it does not develop competencies that today's children of primary age will need for creative solving problems and meeting future challenges. One more issue - understanding importance of diversity and possibility to use it as advantage in education. All partner schools are interested in theme based education and are trying it in practice. There are succesfull episodes, but for developing working system, partners need more theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
PROCESS
* Organizing theme based learning periods, based on later mentioned themes in all partners' schools.
* Observing of theme based (integrated) learning process at partner's school and assisting teachers.
* Creating online toolboxes for themes "Human body", "Water", "Space" "Europe".
