HOME BUT NOT ALONE;
Empowering preschool teachers and parents for digital Education
ERASMUS + PROJECT
HOME BUT NOT ALONE
The project is a strategic partnership involving exchange of good practices. It aims to mitigate educational losses caused by the pandemic by supporting preschools teachers and parents who are the main providers of education for young children. It will realize this aim by focusing on digital tools and teacher-parents relationships. It will initiate cooperation between different stakeholders-universities, local authorities, preschools and a counseling centre and facilitate sharing expertise and exchanging good practices. During the lockdowns throughout Europe, many children had to stay home and were deprived of stimuli which is instrumental for their academic, psychological and social well-being. Teachers and parents had major difficulties finding appropriate online resources for using at home. The project addresses crucial needs of preschool institutions with professional help from universities and commits to providing hands-on experience for the educators.
PROJECT AIMS
* Support teachers of pupils aged 3-6 years by developing their ICT skills at least by 25% and providing resources
* Improve preschool teachers’ capacity to supplement education at home by increasing the number (at least %30) and quality of pedagogical activities involving parents
* Increase the variety of practices for preschools by %35 through promoting exchange of good practices
The project aims to achieve following tangible results:
* Interactive eBook of good practices in preschool education. The contents will be collected from partner organizations and associated partners. This free and open online educational resource will enable preschool teachers to share online resources and to incorporate them into their own teaching.
* A massive open online course (MOOC) to train preschool teachers to develop their digital competencies and soft digital skills. The content will be specifically designed for preschool education and include modules such as technology supported pedagogies, online content creation tools, and game-based/gamified instructional designs. The course will be piloted in partner preschools.
*A project website, social media accounts, a logo and an eTwinning project.
Technology can become the "wings"that will allow the educational world to fly farther and faster than ever before-
