Skill-AED SKILLs Advancement in Education - leadership, empowerment, management skills for teachers and teacher-leaders
October 2018-September 2020
The Projects overall AIM is offering a program to help aspiring teacher-leaders, in developing more sophisticated management orientated skill, increase their preparation and readiness to manage their workload, while learn how to sustain and empower others and how to lead teams for the benefit of their schools.
Why are we doing the project?
• Aspiring leaders or middle leaders in an education setting need to develop more sophisticated management orientated skills and collaborative practices to increase their preparation and readiness to manage their workload, sustain others in their professional growth and lead teams to work on school improvement and development.
• Aspiring leaders or middle leaders in an education-settings have the experience in teaching but LACK the additional management and leadership soft skills required to support others while dealing with their tasks, readiness to manage their workload, sustain others in their professional growth and lead teams to work on school improvement and development.
• EU countries have different framework to evaluate school leaders, but the applied methods are lacking in ASSESSING if the candidate do possess competences as: effective leadership, ability to motivate staff, lead the development of teaching practice and teacher leadership.
• Newly qualified teachers have a good set of skills and knowledge on their subject matter but when entering the profession, many find real school environments challenging and some drop out of the profession. The possibility for offering more targeted support to help novice teachers develop competences and resilience, enhances the quality of teaching and reduces costly exit from the profession

SUSTAIN......SUstainability and Social responsibility compeTences to eAse VET students’ work INsertion
October 2019---March 2021
The SUSTAIN program will accompany participants in analysing different aspects and situations related to sustainable and socially responsible organization, ethical behaviours, social equity and sustainable management of resources thus building up the necessary skills and competences to be a suitable and reasonable employee. The process is aimed at offering students a better prospective on how sustainable and ethical organizations operate, to learn how to behave in a work environment and
be better prepared for their internship or work insertion.
Class activities structured in workshops, structured around company’s departments, will help them experimenting and practicing what real life situation, to get a better prospective on how organizations operate and have a hands-on experience. The inclusive education implies a vision different from the common education based on the heterogeneity and not on the homogeneity. Any inclusive training methodology is a fundamental element in students and trainers' curriculum. The use of diverse strategies will allow trainers to generate tasks and activities in which all learners have possibilities of participation, simultaneously which will encourage the cohesion of the group as well as foster collaborative learning paths.
The content is developed jointly by 6 partners from different countries which ensure transferability of the learning content. Blended solutions are more likely to achieve success with ‘millennials’ or ‘digital natives’, for this reason some learning and evaluation activities will be conducted online. This will also facilitate data collection and reporting, sparing time to the educators while monitoring the learning outcomes level along the process.
