Results

IO1 - Curriculum of the training course

This training course addresses primary and secondary teachers in pre-service or in-service. The course aims to develop the teachers’ professional skills to address students’ literacy and social-emotional learning needs.

IO2 - Methodology for data collection to document the piloting of the curriculum

This intellectual output will allow us to study the effects of the training course on the trainee and existing teachers and their students, based on which we will be able to revise and finalise IO1.

IO3 - Toolkit

This Open Educational Resource (OER) will include good practice to inspire teachers to adopt effective strategies for developing their students’ literacy and social-emotional skills.
