Project goal is to use the experience of the PISA top EU PISA countries to improve Ukrainian students’ performance

Project objectives:

• to promote research and first teaching experience for young researchers and scholars and practitioners in European Union issues
• to foster the publication and dissemination of the results of academic research
• to create interest in the EU and constitute the basis for future poles of European knowledge
• to foster the introduction of a European Union angle into mainly non-EU related studies
• to deliver a tailor-made course on specific EU issues relevant for teachers in their professional life

Activities:

• two Summer Schools annually (one school for teachers of Humanities; the other one for teachers of Science and Mathematics) on European tools, policies and best practices in school education
• content multiplication, as the teachers who are the Summer School participants, in their turn, will design PISA-like tasks on the EU-related content that will be sent to all the experimental schools
• intense dissemination at 5 conferences,3 webinars and 3 roundtables

Expected results:

an increase of teachers’ awareness of key aspects of EU educational policies and practices effectiveness and challenges, and bringing this knowledge into Ukrainian classrooms
