FLI CREATE FLIppedCREative Awareness Teaching

The project meets the priority concerning the professional development of teachers through the use of active teaching methods. It also meets the horizontal priority on the development of a key competence, creativity, whose development in students is promoted in this project with the aim of enhancing their ability to develop diversified strategies to defend against bullies. Learners at all ages need excellent educators to develop the broad set of skills and attitudes they need both for life and future work. Variation in learners’ achievements in education and training depends mainly on individual characteristics and family background. However, in educational institutions, it is teachers and trainers who have most impact on learners’ performance. They can inspire and help learners to acquire higher and more relevant skills. They also play a key role in introducing new teaching and learning methods, in stimulating creativity and innovation, in overcoming biases and in bringing out the best in increasingly diverse classrooms. Many young people still lack a range and a sufficient level of transversal skills (critical thinking, creativity, communication). Furthermore, there are ongoing challenges in implementing high quality approaches to the development of key competences in young people, including understanding the nature and benefits of skills, ensuring a progression of skills development (including approaches and assessments in the classroom), monitoring mechanisms to evaluate local and national initiatives and to validate key competences acquired through informal and non-formal learning.
