Students are usually passive participants at all the educational levels in our traditional learning systems.Their creativeness is not encouraged, nor are they challenged to think critically and originally. On completing the process of formal education, they are capable of more or less successfully reproducing the information they learned in the course of their schooling.
The project’s objective is to foster teachers’ ability to actively involve students in the education process by offering different (extra)curricular activities that can be performed out of school, such as home schooling, after school activities and other activities based on non-formal education methods.
During the 26 months long project, the Teachers Way consortium will :
Identify and analyse different forms of out-of-school education that can be performed by teachers at school outside the normal class – hours
Develop a guideline and training module with tips and recommendation to help teachers to organize different types of the out-off-school learning activities for their pupils
Prepare a learning platform for trainers and teachers used as a depository for the Teachers’ way products and results
Promote the use of out-of-school education offered by teachers in the participating schools
