Good Practice Toolkit
The current toolkit is aimed at sharing key ideas of the GROWE approach and examples of good practice. It also includes practical tips from the project’s implementation by secondary school teachers in Italy, Romania, Lithuania and the UK. “GROWE – Get readers on the wavelength of the emotions”, is a project co-funded by the Erasmus + programme. It aims to develop students’ literacy and social emotional skills by using authentic texts in the learning process.
All teachers, regardless of their subject, should support their students to develop their literacy and social emotional skills. The GROWE model is an innovative approach, tested by teachers in four European countries.
