Our school has officially begun work on an Erasmus+ Project, following a successful application process throughout the last scholastic year. The project, titled “Empowering Educators and Students: A Student-Centred Approach to Enhance Classroom Effectiveness and Reduce the Achievement Gap,” aims to transform the way we teach and learn.
Recognizing the need to increase inquiry-based learning and prioritize student agency, the project focuses on empowering both educators and students alike. This project will encourage students to take control of their learning paths and boost motivation in the classroom through a more student-centred approach. This project also aims to enhance students motivation, engagement, independence and critical thinking.
As part of this initiative, our educators will have the opportunity to travel to various European countries to enhance their teaching methodologies through varies courses and training opportunities. Additionally, groups of educators will be given the opportunity to conduct a job shadowing experience at schools in Ireland and Germany. Two groups of both educators and students will also visit these schools to collaborate further on the project.
We look forward to the positive impact this project will have on our school community, and we are eager to share our progress along the way.
