DEVELOPING A NEW WAY OF TECHING AND LEARNING. EDUCATION WITHOUT BORDERS. This project originates from the necessity of our school in the educative field to improve and expand the multilingual programme that is being carried out in our school since 2010, and to give an answer to the demand of our staff in order to improve our staff and centre management competencies, use new teaching tools and methods to widen the European dimension and our linguistic competence. The main objectives of this project are the following aspects thatt could be improved: – Centre Management: to optimize the organizational and management system in our centre to facilitate higher performance and efficiency, social equality, mobility, inclusion throughout education. To reduce school drop-out ratio, to adapt the new tools and methods to motivate our students and teachers in the teaching-learning process. – Teachers' competences: to widen their communicative, content, organizing and pedagogical performances. To elaborate new cross-curricular teaching material adapted to our students' needs. – New teaching tools and methods: To broaden the spoken skills and interaction skills, to adapt the CLIL methodological content, to adapt the teaching material to the CLIL lessons. Use ICT tools and resources in order to develop new TAC. – European dimension: To train our teachers and students with the skills the European and international market requieres. To develop common projects with other European centres, to create didactic units to be shared with the teachers from other countries. – Linguistic competence in foreign languages: to meet the needs of the European Union: to make sure our students acquire the necessary skills to guarantee the employment and mobility, to develop their linguistic competences according to the CEFR to make them appreciate and understand other cultures. The teachers involved in this project have been selected throughout a transparent and democratic process according to the criteria established. There are 9 teachers involved in this project, all of them have may years of teaching experience. Seven teachers have the need to know the CLIL methodology and to improve their communicative skills in Englih so they can elaborate adequate materials to meet the students' needs and to plan CLIL lessons. They also have the need to share concerns, achievements, experiences and materials with teachers from European countries who use CLIL in their classes. A special need for our students is the correct use of ICT to enhance their comprehension. Other two teachers are interested in improving their competences in German language due to the fact that they are already teaching German in our centre. Moreover, another teacher is interested in the Jobshadowing programme in an educative centre WinklerPrins en Veendam, Holland. Our Educative centre has the need to know other European centres work, specially those in Holland due to the high ranking in the PISA report. We are also interested in discipline and students with special needs in the centre. The election of the Dutch school is due to the high ranking in the PISA report. At the end of the project the linguistic competence and the CLIL methodology will have been acquired. The use of ICT in our school as a special tool in the teaching-learning process will increase. Communicative and collaborative tools will be used as a means to integrate ICT in the teaching process. The European dimension will be enhanced. New methods will be acquired in the teaching-learning process as well as management system. The participants will use the Europass Mobility Certificate where the results of such courses will be introduced. The development of this project will convey benefits for the teachers involved, the centre itself, the organizations involved,the students, colleagues, parents and other educative institutions: - The participants will improve their professional competences, increasing their European dimension when team working with teachesr from other European countries.They will increase their linguistic competences.They will acquire new methodology (CLIL) and new ICT tools to use in the class. - Our school and other institutions will get profit of the creation of our working team at the same time that we will have a better European dimension while doing joint activities with other European schools. - The impact that all this project will have in our students will be to learn the contents in our different subjects by means of a foreign language and the knowledge of other cultures, to develop common projects in other countries. Finally we will obtain the long-term specific objectives already given by the European comunity to ensure all citizens the posibility of employement and movility,creating an education of equality for everyone.
