Presentation of the training in the Europass Teacher Academy in Florence.

On June 15, 2021, a planned event of the "Entrepreneurial Teacher" project took place - the presentation of the training at the Europass Teacher Academy in Florence for the teachers of our school.

It was interesting for everyone to know how we went to Italy for training at such a difficult time of the height of the Covid pandemic. Therefore, as the founder and leader of the project, I told what incredible difficulties we had to face and how we nevertheless achieved our intended goal.

"Fun Chemistry Experiments in an Adventurous School"

Chemistry is an interesting science in itself, which is directly related to the conduct of experiments. And who, if not us, inquisitive students, "plunge" into the world of transformations and chemical mysteries?

Pupils of grade 8C, under the guidance of teachers Nadezhda Pavlyut and Inna Gorbunova, decided to learn how to experiment and teach others themselves. After all, funny and interesting experiments will help to organize and decorate a holiday not only for children, but also for adults. With their creative work, the students wanted to attract the attention of peers interested in natural sciences to research activities and show the possibility of conducting interesting experiments even at home.

Seminar: Project training day on the topic "Pushkin's connection with Estonia"

On April 28, 2021, the Estonian language teacher Inna Gorbunova applied the knowledge gained in the project "Enterprising Teacher" and shared it with her colleagues.

Inna introduced the teachers to the idea of ​​using the Quizziz program on the example of her integrated lesson "Pushkin's connection with Estonia."

Teachers were able to participate in an online "live lesson", get acquainted with the presentation and quiz, tried to answer different types of questions, and saw how the teacher can get feedback and analyze the results of the survey.

Some teachers at our school have previously used Quizziz in their lessons and noted that it is an interesting tool for improving the teacher's work and this is especially true for distance learning.

Dreams Come True...

 

Let's be honest that we, the participants of the project "Enterprising Teacher" (Galina Safronova, Svetlana Gostishcheva, Tatiana Laada, Khiye Taklai, Inna Gorbunova, Inna Rubtsova), have been dreaming for a long of time of visiting this amazing city, the historical center of Italy with its majestic churches and cathedrals, superb theaters and museums ...

We were very happy that we had a great opportunity to learn from the experience of our Italian colleagues, which will undoubtedly help us make the learning process more interesting and exciting.

We were also pleasantly surprised that the project provided us English language training courses, where we got the opportunity to activate our knowledge of English including the spoken language, since the working language of our studies was going to be English.

There are no words to express how upset we were to get to know that due to the pandemic our trip was postponed from 04.10.2020 to 04.04.2021. There was no certainty that our dream would come true in such a difficult time. But as you know hope is the last to die.

And finally that day came 04/04/2021 ... Leaving behind our worries, anxiety, filling in the travel declarations, testing for coronavirus, waiting for the results, we said goodbye to Maxim Stepanenko, who brought all of us to the airport and wished us good luck. Many thanks to him!

And here we are - on the plane flying to fabulous Florence! Dreams Come True!!!

Teachers training in Italy, Florence under the "Enterprising Teacher" project.

 

In 2020, the project manager of the Jõhvi Russian Basic School wrote an international project "Enterprising Teacher", which received financial support from the European Union program aimed at promoting cooperation in the field of teacher education and vocational training (Kooli töötajate õpiränne). Due to the pandemic, the project had to be extended by six months and the basic training of teachers was only possible in 2021. From 4 to 18 April, teachers of our school took part in this exciting and informative event.

Training at the Europass Teacher Academy in Florence, Italy lasted two weeks and consisted of two courses:

1.         A Project Management System for a Better Quality of Teaching

2.         A European School for All Children.

The language of instruction was English.
