Changes in education and the needs of teachers and learners

There have been many changes in my country and also in other European countries recently.Education is  now  undergoing  a revolution  and more and more learners are the " active " players. Education should enhance their " active" learning and the high costs of education together with the need for differentiation in learning  are influencing  the work of millions of teachers and Governments that aim at cutting  costs but  require high performance and top quality.
CPD is part of a compulsory learning process that we are required to follow in Italy: " La Buona Scuola" has asked  Italian teachers to get more self-development and activities and tasks are more demanding.   Digital skills, CLIL for non-language  teachers, special needs and differentiation in learning are some of the skills and knowledge we are required to have.  But we do need to work on our own and much is done in our free time as  the courses which are offered cannot cover all the needs of the teachers.
Here are some interesting web links for Italian  teachers who need to be updated and know more about what is happening around us. Thanks to the web more and more we  a connected community online  and teachers have  access to new sources online or courses online to learn more.

SOCLOO- a new  LMS for teachers in Italy
http://blog.socloo.org/2015/04/17/socloo-la-scuola-si-fa-social/

I will write more about the ideas about the flipped classroom but as a teacher of English I have seen so many changes in the last ten years that  I need to get to  know more about  best practices.

ITALY AND THE EUROPEAN  UNION- EDUCATION IS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT FOR BETTER THE COUNTRY


Italy is required to improve the levels in education and to provide   better learning opportunities for  students.  More details can be found  on the web    http://ec.europa.eu/education/policy/higher-education/index_en.htm 

Modernisation and Erasmus+  programmes are now  " reshaping" our  system of education. This is true for Italy and all the other  European  countries.

Teachers are asked to be active players and to support learners. I am aware that the process of self- development  will mark the next years and my  CPD.  I have already started to be part of  an international community but I will need to work on my IT competences to become  a better teacher.
