Acknowledging and Developing Entrepreneurial Practice in Teacher Training

As in many other aspects of education, teachers are expected to play a pivotal role in the delivery and promotion of enterprise in schools, but more often than not, they bear the brunt of translating policies into practice. Hence greater efforts should be made to build up teachers’ confidence and skills to promote creative and entrepreneurial learning skills and abilities and active-learner centred approaches. The overall objective of ADEPTT, Acknowledging and Developing Entrepreneurial Practice in Teacher Training has been to create a strategic EU model to promote teacher training in entrepreneurship as a means to develop entrepreneurial mindsets in European young people and thus, socio-economic and local/regional development.ADEPTT is formed by a partnerships of 13 institutions from 8 EU countries which hold complementary competences as the partnership includes Universities, colleges, research centres, foundations, regional centres in charge of promoting entrepreneurship, a National Institute for Curriculum Development and a network. The outcomes do include a Synthesis Report on Teachers Learning Needs & Transferable Training Programmes Fostering Entrepreneurship, a Training Model published in ES, PT, DE, NO, UK, IS and Flemish, 2 evaluation reports and a variety of dissemination materials adapted to the users and policy makers.ADEPTT filled a gap among the existing networks and initiatives by focusing not simply on teacher training on entrepreneurship but more concretely on designing and implementing tools to help teachers in the classroom focusing on their own stranghts and thus achieving considerable impact in the wider audience of students.
