The project is part of a global action of development of Liceo Scientifico Avogadro which aims at : 1. updating teaching methodologies (Area 1); 2. internationalization (Area 2); 3. responding to the Ministry of Education requirements as regards CLIL (Area 3). As to the first issue, our new headmaster has been carrying out a policy of implementing the new technologies for the last two years, while the second issue has been pursued thanks to our school long-standing participation in European exchange programmes ( first Socrates, then Comenius). This is being achieved by establishing relationships between teachers and students coming from different European contexts to share valuable knowledge and experience and to improve the awareness of their European citizenship. The third issue has been addressed only in this school year since the Ministry of Education has better outlined their intentions as regards the CLIL programme. We are deeply aware that the new generations need newer and more exciting learning strategies as the new technologies will be playing a more and more crucial role in their career prospects and Europe may be considered both as the setting of their future professional life and the place where they will live as European citizens. The aim of the project is the training of teachers capable of meeting such expectations due to a better knowledge of the instruments and the teaching opportunities offered by the new technologies, and also thanks to new inputs in the choice of subject contents and teachingmethodologies, as well as teaching approach closer to the European model which allows students to develop their own skills and to be more active in participating in the learning process. This last point, in particular, regards teachers who are teaching other subjects besides foreign languages and who will have to be able to teach in English their own specific subjects in their classes.The project has been hypothesised for a period of two years involving a total of 12 teachers. Half of them will be language teachers who will have to attend special courses for new teaching methods in particular for the use of ICT, while the other half will be teachers of other subjects who will not only have to improve their linguistic skills, but above all will have to learn the CLIL method. The courses can be held in either one or two weeks. The teachers involved in the project will be chosen by a special committee through a very rigorous selection which will take into consideration the following: linguistic and computer technology requirements; the professional CV; motivation; participation in other projects presented by the school; the willingness to contribute its dissemination.Detailed information about the project , forms and criteria of selection will be available on the school website. The choice , the duration and the period of the courses will be made by a new committee formed by the previous special committee and the selected teachers in order to meet the requirements of this project. Before leaving the teachers will have to acquire adequate and specific preparation as established by this project and by any special needs that may arise. At the end of the course every teacher will have to write a report and present what she or he has learned during the in-service courses organized by the school and offered to the other teachers. An assessment module will be set by the teachers’ committee in collaboration with the National Training Agency. The materials, documents and worksheets produced during the course will be shared by both teachers and students on the school website area dedicated to international relations. During the school year following the training course the teachers will have to include in their annual learning plan a section focused on the skills acquired and at the end of the school year they will have to report the results achieved. A second activity will aim at training the area coordinators and at providing tools to achieve the specific targets of the different areas. Two job shadowings (one for Area 1 and one for Area 3) have been hypothesized for the area's coordinators to acquire experience and know-how which will be shared in our school. As regards Area 1, the teacher in charge will be sent to IT-Gymnasiet Goteborg for a week, so that he may work with the teacher responsible for the Swedish school.As regards Area 3, the teacher in charge will be sent to a training course and a week’s job shadowing at the Easy School in Malta. His task will be to cooperate with the teachers who provide CLIL material and to produce papers and documents based on the school’s needs.
