Our goals are to support employees in the areas of: - managerial competencies of school management; - language and intercult. competencies of teachers – linguists and non-linguists who will be able to teach their subject in the future using the CLIL method (e.g., basics of social sciences in French); - the linguistic and intercult. competencies of administrative staff, who work with foreign language documents (contracts with the French Alliance, etc.); - the competence of all staff in the use of modern teaching methods and tools, in the use of IT resources in teaching; - the establishment of a Europass for school staff; - the introduction of formative assessment in most subjects. Our general objectives are: - setting up as a center for lifelong learning and community gatherings; - orientation not only towards the Ostrava region but also strengthening the European context; - gaining experience of living in a foreign country; - development of tolerance towards other nations, prevention of misunderstandings, elimination of xenophobic tendencies among the staff; - inspiration from the curricula of foreign schools when adapting our school curriculum and the organization of foreign schools for approaching the ideal school operation.
The founder of our school (the Moravian-Silesian Region) supports us in activities that lead to obtaining additional funding sources for further education of teachers and non-teachers at regional schools. We applied for a grant in the Erasmus+ project because our European School Development Plan document shows that we want to raise awareness of the international dimension of today's world among the pupils and staff of our grammar school. We can contribute significantly to this goal by participating in an international project, Tigrid’s Languages, funded by Erasmus+.
