Teachers understand that they are responsible for providing their students with the tools that will contribute to their integral development, that we are living in a time of change, where the resources they used before are no longer suitable for providing effective responses to the new demands of a global society. The offshoring of work, mobility and digitalisation are already a fact, so they were willing to collaborate to achieve common goals and overcome the obstacle of the language barrier. The members of the consortium share the need to: - Internationalise schools in a way that has a beneficial impact on teachers and, above all, on students. - Improve the Digital Competence of teachers and, above all, students. - Improve the Linguistic Competence of teachers and, above all, pupils. - Guarantee students equal access to digital devices and competences in new technologies. - Focus the full incorporation of ICT on the improvement of the quality of education and innovation. In addition, all schools show interest in participating in ERASMUS+ projects coordinated by CFR Ferrol.
The consortium organised by CFR Ferrol and made up of the following schools: CPI As Mirandas, CPI do Feal, CEIP San Isidro, CEIP Santiago Apóstolo and CEIP Unión Mugardesa aimed to implement a European Development Plan (EDP) which was approved by their teaching staffs. The element of cohesion shared by these schools is the motivation of their management teams, staffs and educational communities towards the process of internationalisation, which encourages some of their teachers to take part in training activities in the EU that will enable them to improve the following aspects: - their educational projects; - their professional teaching competences; - fostering the improvement of the competences of the other professionals in the school; - optimising the teaching-learning process of the students, as a result of the transfer of knowledge that the beneficiaries of the training will do once they have received it. Thus, the training activities chosen are part of the educational project and respond to the needs detected of the educational centres, all of which show great interest in the use of new technologies in the classroom, with a focus on the pupils and the quality of teaching.
