AIMS

Our main aim is to let the teachers of our schools develop their methodology and get better in this field; and by doing so to give our pupils a chance to have better educational circumstances, to have more success at school and to be more successful later on in the European labour marketProject activities also aim to attain language skills making one able to consult upon themes related to handling pupils with LIB diff. in school and to spread knowledge through observation of teaching processes, awakening to (higher)consciousness of the project theme.

ACTIVITIES (1):

Home-country activities (henceforth abbreviated: HoA)- HoA 1: language course between December 2016 - February 2017 (according to individual needs and timing of each organization).- HoA 2: observation in each school, job shadowing, transmission of what have been learned on the further training, accumulation of good (and maybe also “bad”) practices among colleagues - Spring-Summer 2017 (according to individual timing of each organization)- HoA 3-4: Blending of learned new methods and good practices into one's own teaching practice; transmission of them in the own school for colleagues who have not participated in transnational training events.- HoA 5: Evaluation of the project “LIFE” - Autumn 2018.

ACTIVITIES (2):

Common transnational meeting activities (abbreviated: TrA)TrA 1: transnational project meeting of management. 5 days in November 2016 in Turkey.- TrA 2: short-term joint staff training event. 5 days in March 2017 in Italy. Further training and job shadowing.- TrA 3: short-term joint staff training event. 5 days in October 2017 in Romania.- TrA 4: short-term exchange of groups of pupils. 5 days in April 2018 in Spain.- TrA 5: short-term joint staff training event. 5 days in October 2018 in Hungary.

Expected rezults(1)1)Teachers will get new impulses and learn new pedagogic and new pedagogical methods through further trainings and sharing experiences and ideas in an international cooperation. * Teachers participated in the transnational cooperation will transmit their experiences and learnt skills to their colleagues in a form of a project week through workshops and job shadowing. * In this way teachers of the school will have the opportunity to discuss about handling pupils with LIB difficulties and to evolve common pedagogic directives for the whole teaching staff. 2) Teachers will become better in handling with pupils with LIB difficulties: * They will be able to help more the children with LIB difficulties to fit in the class. * They will develop own foreign language and ICT skills and they will become more open-minded teachers of European standards.

Expected rezults(2)

Schools will be better in detecting pupils with LIB difficulties as early as possible: * Pupils with LIB difficulties should be detected in the primary level: teachers will be able to recognize, test and help them more effectively. * Schools will set up a well-functioning and reliable system in order to detect pupils with LIB difficulties. Schools will have more parents as collaborators in this theme: * Schools will set up a common platform for teachers and parents, which should be suitable for forming a relationship between teachers and parents of pupils with LIB difficulties in order to help and support them in bringing up their children.
