Foreign In-service Training @ KOGEKA 1 (FIT@K1)
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

FIT@K1 wants to introduce Europe in the daily lives of our students, teachers, parents, administration and so on. Within the context of the European Union, The ultimate goal is to shape and develop real European citizens. A vision spread over multiple years is essential in order to reach this goal. We want to concentrate on BLENDED LEARNING and 21st CENTURY SKILLS. In this new 'knowledge society', schools are no longer exclusive environments for learners. Outside schools people learn continuously ( eg language courses online, instructional videos on Youtube ... ). We want to be a leading school of secondary education. We will try to make a difference by focusing on lifelike, contemporary and sustainable learning. As a result, we want to deliver active , socially engaged and self confident young people to society. They know their own talents and succeed in a flexible and assertive way to deal with changes in the society of today and tomorrow . As a result of the development of the 'knowledge society', it is essential that students get opportunities to develop the right skills. These skills and competences are needed in order to function, to work and in order to get a lifetime development within this new society. FIT@K1 is also working on "Content and Language Integrated Learning" (CLIL). We want to introduce CLIL in the near future. CLIL is a way to stir intercultural consciousness. Studies note positive effects of CLIL in relation to the learning outcomes in terms of the mother tongue of the students. The proficiency level of the CLIL learners for the mother tongue is equal or better than that of the non-CLIL learners. This positive learning effect for CLIL applies not only to stronger students, but also for weaker students. In a number of international studies, one notices that even weaker language learners at the end of a CLIL program can reach the same or even a better language level than stronger students who did not study the CLIL programme. That is what fascinates us! Our teacher need to develop a professional level of proficiency of the CLIL language, because otherwise specific language skills will not be developed. Our European mobilities will ensure that our teachers will be further professionalised. Just as they are constantly trained in their own region, they must also have the courage to step beyond borders in order to acquire important competences. As a school, we want to make sure that our staff keeps some sort of portfolio (Europass), so they can observe their personal growth, reflect on it and create a long-term vision for the entire school. In the end, this students can only benefit from this professionalism.
