How to create a schoo corresponding to the needs of the 21st century? The analysis of Talis and Pisa are all stating that the different educational systems do not evolve as fast as our world and in the connected world in which we are living, it is necessary to set up a useful collaborative system and the conditions to the innovation of the development of skills and to help teachers to be more confident and to show how headmasters shoud manage more horizontally. The ANGE project is set up with 10 European organisations : AECG (Association enseignement catholique de gironde), ICP (institut catholique de Paris), l'université de Craïova (Roumanie), lycée Paul Claudel d'Hulst (Paris), lycée Rakovski de Bourgas (Bulgarie), Université de Salamanque (Espagne), Ecole Zawm St. Vith (Belgique), lycée Novida (Finlande) A CEGEP in the east of Quebec, famous for its quality, its excellence and it innovation is linked to the project because of its digital dimension. The ANGE project is aimed to modernize the European educational systems an is trying to set up a program for European training for the headmasters and their teams to understand the pedagogical impact of the project linked with digital technologies at schools. There are 3 priorities in our project -the development of innovation at schools with digital projects -an initial and continuing training of the actors of education, especially the headmasters -school dropout prevention with digital use Our project will deal with the study of the digital in schools and its consequences. The activities done during this project and their results will have an impact on the audience. The motivation to work in European and international teams and the knowledge of the different educational systems will lead to build some link between pairs, to have and share a common and permanent reflexion contributing to the creation of efficient and challenging training skills. The team of European trainers will give a European dimension to each of these organizations. It will train and inform the other members of the organizations and will have an impact on the courses of these institutions. The digital training will be part of training proposed at schools enriched with the continuous european trainers working on this thinking about digital power. This team will have a large impact on people who will be trained and accompanied. This project will last because the paneuropean team training will still offer European training on demand. Thanks to their networks, the institutions will communicate the results of the project to the skateholders and also to the politicians. The results of the analyse will be shown through a report presented by PhD students from ICP. All our productions will be accessible on the platform school education gateway and on the appropriate websites. A portfolio with the skills and acquired learning will be given to each learner who participated to the pedagogical innovation sequences. If e-education is a strategic skill for our schools in the future, it will be the answer to the educational questions if it is strongly linked with the schools management and if it is in parallel to the useful training to digital pedagogical use for the headmasters and their teams.
How can we make our education systems more open, more innovative, more anchored in the digital age ? In such a context, how can we encourage the training and development of the professional skills of those involved (school heads, teachers, trainers, researchers, etc.) ? Such is the questioning of the ERASMUS+ ANGE project for Anchoring the Digital in the Governance of Institutions and the transformations it induces. ANGE has 3 priorities : o The development of innovation in digitally-anchored institutions o Initial and in-service training for all those involved in education, in particular headteachers o Preventing school drop-out through digital use ANGE has 4 specific objectives : to create a network of classlabs (support laboratories) and training tools ; to create a research-action network; to promote effective school leadership ; to enable the development of the professional skills of all those involved in education. ANGE is the project of 9 partner institutions : AECG (Association enseignement catholique de Gironde), ICP (Institut Catholique de Paris), the University of Craïova (Romania), Paul Claudel d'Hulst high school (Paris), Rakovski of Bourgas high school (Bulgaria), University of Salamanca (Spain), Zawm St. Vith (Belgium), the University of Salamanca (Spain), Novida Loïmaa High School (Finland), CEGEP de la Pocatière (Quebec), recognised for its quality, excellence and sense of innovation. ANGE is to share the progress of the 9 partner institutions of the project : universities, high schools, training center, network of institutions that have experienced, implemented, piloted or accompanied transformations related to digital technology in 4 institutions in Finland, Belgium, France and Bulgaria, launched in pedagogical, organisational and managerial experiments, in which digital technology plays a central role. They all ask themselves the same questions about governance, steering, leadership and skills development ! The reflection that we have been sharing for the last 3 years and the analysis of the projects implemented, are gathered around 3 questions : o Does the deployment of innovative projects linked to digital technology have an impact on the governance of institutions by making it more participative ? o Does the Classlab Ange approach promote the development and success of innovation projects ? o Does the Classlab Ange approach allow all the actors involved to gain in skills and thus participate in their professional development ? ANGE is the accompaniment of the experimenters by a pan-European and international team where everyone was an actor alongside directors, teachers, researchers and trainers who allowed the analysis of the changes induced by digital technology and the implementation of recommendations in the governance of institutions. But ANGE is also about human encounters, exchanges, discoveries, shared work, training, meetings, to question each other, to learn together, from others to advance reflection and common productions. Classlab Ange's approach in this way has enabled everyone, managers, teachers, researchers, trainers and students to discover new work situations and new learning in an action-research approach. The creation, based on this project and its conclusions, of Classlabs has allowed a continuous training of the teams, teachers and headmasters, in an action-research approach and the acquisition of new competences now listed in a common repository of competences progressively co-built by the actors of the project. ANGE now offers a wide range of resources, based on research results, expert presentations at think tank seminars, analyses of pedagogical or managerial practices (outputs, study reports). The ANGE project, finally, is to share as widely as possible our experiences, our analyses, our resources, through the ANGE website http://classlab-ange.eu/ and the MOOC ANGE open on FUN since January 13th https://www.fun-mooc.fr/courses/course-v1:UVSQ+113002+self_paced/about But ANGE is above all the will to learn from others and to grow together, in a multicultural and multilingual environment; it is the will to open up to a world without borders to enable everyone to find the path of educational transformation they wish to implement in their own environment. Although e-education is a strategic tool for our schools of tomorrow, it will only be able to respond to the educational challenges if it is anchored in the governance of the schools and accompanied by the indispensable training in the pedagogical uses of digital technology for school heads and teams.
