High-quality teaching is determined to a great extent on what teachers know and are able to do. In its Communication on School Development & Excellent Teaching For a Great Start in Life, the EC underlines the importance of teacher education for teaching quality, pointing out the role that collaborative work and career-long professional development can play. The EC highlights the need for CPD to be accessible, affordable and relevant, and underscores the positive effect of involving schools and teachers in defining CPD policies. There are some challenges encountered while providing CPD to the teachers and this project aims to help overcome these by focusing on improving teachers’ competences in 9 competence areas which are necessary for teachers in 21st Century. We will work with teachers to develop, deliver, evaluate and adapt content in each region ensuring that any of the final outputs are relevant, targeted and suitable for each context.
