DESCRIPTION – OUTCOMES
The participation of the schools will also enable them to become points of reference, so that modern educational methods may be gradually and constantly evaluated and introduced. The teachers are invited to study and to experiment with proposed schemes of activities, as well as to compile reports on the educational practices used. They will also be invited to make proposals that cultivate pupils’ abilities and demonstrate an interdisciplinary approach to knowledge, critical thought, and assessment, which meet the quality criteria of the Innovation Project.
The outcome of the collaboration of teachers in the Network, as well as of other teachers (registered on the Network web area), may be commented on using the website, thus giving the opportunity to the extended community of educators to showcase “good practice”. The aim of this is to enhance the quality of education through the provision of educational solutions, which will be tested and hopefully adopted widely, thus gradually increasing the proficiency levels of the Greek school community, and in this way contributing to social cohesion. The web area of the School Innovation Network serves:
• Teachers who are interested and who sign up to the Network, giving them suggestions and schemes of educational activities, the opportunity to compile entries for school use in the Thematic Presentations, as well as to generally comment on the activities proposed by the Network, principally through the weblog and, in addition;
• Teachers (registered users) at Network schools, who will also be given the opportunity to compile schemes of educational activities and “educational practices” as well as to evaluate them, and the right to compose encyclopaedic entries in the Thematic Presentations and, finally, the Web area will serve
• The professional support of the teachers at the Network schools in adopting modern educational methods and in evaluating their effectiveness in Greek schools.
