Short Description:
The general objective of this comprehensive program is to develop academic expertise and reform in-service teacher training by establishing specialized centres in Albanian universities that can deliver high-quality programs in the field of lifelong professional competence development for teachers at the non-tertiary level. To guarantee sustainability, the project will design, implement and monitor a comprehensive lifelong learning (LLL) Teacher Training System, with Albanian universities as main providers, and thus strengthening relations between higher education and the wider economic and social environment. The key output is the establishment of a LLL Teacher Training System at the Ministry level by: 1) Designing and implementing training courses for improving teaching and learning competences for in-service teachers aligned with the UE and Μinistry of Education and Sports (MoES) strategy; 2) Establishing LLL Centres in Albanian universities; 3) Creating an Albanian Network of LLL Centres for Teacher Training (NCTT); 4) Training academic staff at Albanian universities to train in-service teachers; 5) Establishing a database and accreditation system and formal processes for registering, accrediting and following up on teacher training programmes, within the recognition of MoES.
Implementation: Develop training programs (in scientific methodology, pedagogy, ethics, and educational ICT) for educators in different levels of education. Develop digital structures (video projectors, interactive laboratories, smart board, laptops, etc.) in Albanian universities to support teacher qualification training and lifelong learning.
