KA1 Staff mobility in IES " Rafael Alberti ", Cadiz ( Spain ) SCHOOL SITUATION IES Rafael Alberti provides Secondary Education, High School, Vocational education and mainly a Bilingual English Project to a meaningful part of these students, which we consider to be the relevant part of the project we present today for evaluation to the national agency. French as L3 is complementing the bilingual program. The centre is located in an inner-city neighbourhood provided from low socio- economic and cultural level, reason why it develops a Compensatory Education Program; our students need to compete constantly with inequality due to their low-income backgrounds. Students lack support from their families, so their education and citizenship education is almost exclusively in the centre. Educational results of students are low. To compensate for the disadvantage of it, the school offers tutoring after school schedule and organizes complementary and extracurricular activities in order to develop their best skills. IES Rafael Alberti needs a permanent staff training to fulfil school goals: - Increase English proficiency among teachers in the centre, especially those involved in the English Bilingual Teaching, different subjects taught 50% in English today, and willing to increase up to 100% in the future. - Planning innovative teaching in order to evolve towards a more challenging resource centre for inner-city schools.
