Description

The training includes theoretical input and experiential learning. Its goal is to give school management a clear understanding of the TBIS project and how it can best be managed at their school.
Application takes place within the framework of THE BOOK IN SCHOOL project that runs at selected schools and the corresponding CPD training for teachers of these schools.
The training is for heads, principals and project coordinators, i.e. all those involved in supervising and managing the project at their schools (but not necessarily teaching the contents of the project). It could also be of interest to District Directors, Regional Managers and SISOs etc.

9.) THE BOOK IN SCHOOL offers project – based learning opportuniGes.
This means one central theme is approached from different angles and subjects (English language, RME, Social Studies, Art etc). This not only leads to a deeper understanding of the subject of the project – here the text of the gospel of Mark – but also to more in-depth knowledge in other subjects. The project based learning experience of THE BOOK IN SCHOOL also allows for classes of different levels in a school to work together. This requires more communica?on between classes (students and teacher) and herewith creates more unity in a school.
Project based learning is very exci?ng for students and excellent academic performance can be achieved as a result. It does however, require careful management of the team implemen?ng the project at a school.
