Professional Development

This summer starts with a surprise!

I`ve finished “The EU Icebreaker MOOC” from EU SCHOOL NET, met peers from more than 60 countries and share with them my motivations and expectations for the next Code Week in October. The EU Code Week has even more to offer to teachers. Now that you have understood how to organise and register an activity and how to use the Code Week website in your national language, we want to show you some of these additional opportunities.

As a teacher committed to integrating digital creativity, coding or computational thinking in my classroom, the EU Code Week team encourages me to share my good practices with other teachers, and parents, and learn from others. This is why I`ll take part in “the Code Week 4 All challenge for you”. The challenge aims to motivate my Ss and me to connect activities and best practices locally, nationally, and internationally.“Addressing the Global Climate Crisis in Your Classroom” from SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL GATEWAY. Student activists like Greta Thunberg have put schools at the forefront of the global climate crisis. Accordingly, tackling the topic of the global climate crisis in our classrooms has rarely been more important. This course will help me to understand and make sense of the scientific evidence behind the crisis and the associated ongoing debates. More importantly, it will explore how I can approach the topic through projects and other activities in my classroom. As a participant, I`ve explored the basic science behind climate change; learnt about the main consequences of the climate crisis; discovered ideas, pedagogical practices and tools that can help me to address the climate crisis and environmental sustainability in my classroom; understoond how to utilise and integrate student thinking about the climate crisis into classroom activities; investigated approaches to organise constructive debates on the topic of climate change; discussed how to organise constructive debates and student projects addressing the climate crisis.
