Erasmus+ Training Course
Teaching Methodologies
From 25th of February to 4th of March 2015, “Χτίζοντας το σχολείο του αύριο” project was implemented. EProjectConsult hosted two teaching staff in the framework of the Erasmus+, Mobility project for School Education Staff in cooperation with 2nd Junior High School of Corfu, Greece. The group consisted of one teacher of History, who was the headmaster of the school also, and one teacher of Mathematics. Participants had the opportunity to receive training in the field of teaching methodologies for teachers expertized in History and Mathematics respectively, thereby they gained experience needed for their professional career and become acquainted with the Italian education system. The training consisted of seminars, workshops and study visits in local schools. Responsible trainer for the programme was Prof. Fernando Marcelino.
