Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC) recently entrusted PPMI to map institutions in EU Member States pursuing an aim of European interest and European integration. The study will analyse seven Jean Monnet Designated Institutions (JMDIs) and identify similar entities. The results will inform reflections on the role of JMDIs in the successor to the current Erasmus+ programme, highlight their uniqueness, and help develop robust selection criteria. #PPMIprojects #Erasmus

Ahead of #ipsef this year, I really enjoyed writing this article for ITM - hopefully useful for those looking at the broad topic of sustainability when developing international schools. Looking forward to sharing it at the event this week, with a few more insights too 😁 #sustainability #environmentaldesign #schooldesign

CHALLENGES IN ITE/CPD ROUNDTABLE It was a pleasure to be invited by Universidad Rey Juan Carlos to participate in the roundtable that took place last month at INTEF. This was comprised by teacher educators and trainers from universities and ministries of education in Spain, Czech Republic, Portugal and Croatia as the brilliant Davor Černi. We could learn from each other and collaboratively develop an innovative teacher education & training programme focussing on digital professional engagement as defined by the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators. Finally, I would like to pose the next question: Do you believe that current teachers are prepared to properly develop digital competencies?"

REAIE NETWORKS: Following the resounding success of the first online meeting of the Primary Perspectives Network in Term 1, we are pleased to announce the dates for our online meetings in Term 2 and 3. 7:30pm – 8:30pm (AEST) on 30th May, 20th June, and 22nd August 2024 In response to the data collected in the survey, our Term 2 meetings will offer an opportunity to come together as a big group and then have time in 4 Working Groups. These working groups have been formed from the areas, interests and curiosities expressed in the survey. The groups will work together with a facilitator, taking a deep dive into the topic of choice, and forming a closer, supportive relationship with the colleagues in your group. We encourage you to consider which group discussion you would like to join and try to make as many meeting as possible to support the discussion to progress. Readings tailored to each topic will be shared with those who have registered, ahead of the meeting. Working groups will be arranged to focus on the following topics: - Finding the Balance between Curriculum and Pedagogy in response to the ideas of Reggio Emilia implemented in a Primary Context - Students as Active Citizens – a Right of Childhood - Principles of Reggio Emilia – would suit those new to the ideas - The role of Documentation as a strategy for Observation and Co-construction of Learning REAIE Network Groups are a benefit of REAIE Membership.

Interoperability is a word that often makes people's eyes glaze over. Put simply - why can't you look for the best micro-credential to follow from any university in Europe? Why can't you find out what are the best courses and who are the best teachers? Why can't your qualifications be recognised across borders without jumping through hoops? Why can't we use the latest EdTech tools in classrooms instead of get caught in endless discussions on if tech is evil? These are a few of the problems which interoperability solves, by interconnecting themes seamlessly.

Excited for my upcoming #EAIE workshop with Dr. Melanie Agnew and Eveke De Louw! Consider joining us at the EAIE: European Association for International Education Annual Conference in #Toulouse for our workshop titled: Great minds think differently: A disciplinary approach to engage #academics in #curriculum #internationalisation ***Description*** Curriculum internationalisation (IoC), a complex academic process that is vital for campus-wide global engagement, relies heavily on academic staff. Engaging faculty beyond a few champions has been historically challenging. This is a well-known problem. Workshop participants will analyse academic disciplines, using 25 years of research-based practices, and create discipline-specific communication strategies to boost faculty involvement in internationalising the curriculum. ***Learning Outcomes*** This workshop will help you: - Gain a deep understanding of the unique disciplinary features in the four (hard/soft, pure/applied) categories, and understand how they each uniquely manifest in IoC - Analyse how these disciplinary features inform IoC communication strategies across each of the disciplinary categories - Develop discipline-specific communication strategies which can be used immediately ***Who is it for?*** This workshop is particularly relevant for internationalisation officers, educational developers, and academics who are involved in leading curriculum internationalisation. ***Register Here*** https://lnkd.in/dQGMPKZz #intled #ioc #iah #iocah #globallearning #globalhighered #profdev #internationalization #NAFSA24 #France #highered
