The goal of the current mobility project "The Mobilities of Teachers' Professional Learning Communities as Supporters of the Development of Tartu Jaan Poska Gymnasium" was to support the project "The Professional Learning Communities of JPG" mentioned above. The priority areas were collaborative learning, improving cooperation, utilising coaching techniques, supporting students in accordance with their individual needs, advancing inquiry-based learning and the use of ICT tools. The theme that united all the mobilities was the establishment and continuation of international relations with various institutions.
The upper secondary school Tartu Jaan Poska Gymnasium (henceforth JPG) values creativity, innovation, skilled learners, and digital learning. JPG is continually searching for new ways for achieving these goals and, thus, in January 2019, the school initiated the project "The Professional Learning Communities of JPG" (henceforth "PLC"). The ultimate goal of the PLCs was collaborative learning and the development of the teaching staff with the advancement of the school and supporting the students in mind. The areas of improvement for the PLCs stemmed directly from "Tartu Jaan Poska Gymnasium Development Plan until 2021" and in the long run would provide the basis for the writing process of JPG's new development plan. The more specific goals of the PLCs were cross-curricular approaches to teaching and collaboration, teachers' emotional intelligence, students' learning motivation, improving media competence, and collaboratively creating a new elective course across different subject areas. To fulfil all the ambitious goals, the school felt the need to give the process an international dimension and applied for the project.
