School+Valorisation+(WP5)

=School peer learning (WP5)=

This WP adapts the school practice model developed in P2P for valorisation of the three topics by trios of schools, as recommended by P2P. The focus is on learners aged 14 to 16.

Work is whole-school based. Whole school self- and peer-assessment is an important part of WP5 work and partners will work closely with WP6. Schools use self-assessment frameworks developed by the inspectorates in P2P (or Becta), first self-assessing, then peer assessing.

Participants are Denmark (lead), Norway, UK - Northern Ireland, Spain - Catalonia, the Netherlands and Austria. The approach will be for all to take the topic of new learning environment then one curriculum subject. Each cluster of schools takes one of the project topics and applies the P2P methodology to peer review innovative activities in these areas. The network is built up by developing the concept of self-presentation and peer review between school leaders developed in P2P and by sharing good practice using video and audio story telling case study approaches.

For visits (subject to budget), two people (head and ICT or a particular subject area) in each school visit two other schools and host one visit. Inspectors join the visits. Ideally there should be a second round of visits at the end of the project to peer and self-assess progress. Visits will cover both ICT assessment and all three topics, maybe one school is leader / champion for one topic. This will never be a practical solution for most schools in Europe so this WP will develop other modes of peer learning involving more than the visiting schools in virtual peering using the best tools available to enrich the experience. There will be national workshops for both the travelling and the non-travelling schools, with input (virtual and face to face) from other countries.

The closed mailing list for national coordinators of WP5 is here: [|__https://listserv.eun.org/mailman/listinfo/p2v-wp5__]. This is where you can changes preferences etc. Each triad has its own mailing list: Triad 1: https://listserv.eun.org/mailman/listinfo/triad1 Triad 2: [|__https://listserv.eun.org/mailman/listinfo/p2v-wp5-schools2__] Triad 3: https://listserv.eun.org/mailman/listinfo/p2v-wp5-schools3 Triad 4: https://listserv.eun.org/mailman/listinfo/p2v-wp5-schools4 Triad 5: https://listserv.eun.org/mailman/listinfo/p2v-wp5-schools5 Triad 6: https://listserv.eun.org/mailman/listinfo/p2v-wp5-schools6
