The significance of high quality, inclusive, innovative and relevant education is growing across the world. The 21st century demands fast use of information & successful application of skills/competences. Moreover, the importance of innovative/inclusive education is reflected in ET2020. Educational organisations such as schools have to evolve & adapt to achieve their core mission: to educate students to be successful in a complex and interconnected world that faces rapid technological, cultural, economic & demographic change. The project will build on the existing knowledge about learning processes & experiences that will lead to more learning friendly designs and forms of teaching and learning processes. The main aim of the project is to utilize in schools expeditionary teaching & learning, understood as pedagogy, philosophical approach to teaching &learning processes, based on experiential learning, & also as methodology of teaching & learning, in order:a/ to provide teachers, through good examples, with methods, techniques/tools for increasing lessons’ attractiveness, connection to the real life & employment problems & all students' involvement, learning & wellbeing, b/ to offer teachers an approach to school education, teaching & learning processes allowing making cross-disciplinary connections & increasing the key competencies, the skills of communication & research in diverse, multicultural & globalized world,c/ to develop attitudes of openness and cooperation, to support democratic processes & civil society in an integrated Europe, d/ to build systemic organizational culture, supporting the whole school development & institutional learning allowing interdisciplinary approach to school work, problem solving & sharing the responsibility for students’ & teachers’ learning with multiple actors.We will work with key stakeholders, teachers & pupils, and engage with 6 schools in Wales,Turkey & Poland, and reach 110+ teachers & 1700+ pupils in these schools through project actions. They will be supported by 3 organisations, 1 in Wales, 1 in Turkey and 1 in Poland with the knowledge, understanding,& skills to promote the development of Expeditionary Learning(EL) methodology through pupil centred activities. We will develop a guidance manual on how to develop & deliver EL activities in schools. We will carry out baseline questionnaires with pupils & teaching staff to inform project progress and project direction/next steps. There will be 3 case studies (1/country) on EL with the purpose to stimulate discussion on 'how pupils learn' and 'how teaching staff teach' in this new paradigm of education for 21st century skills. We will develop collaboratively developed innovative resources that can be transferred to other areas of experiental learning. We will carry out active & innovative research alongside the introduction of EL within the 6 schools. Researchers will work alongside teaching staff actively implementing EL activities in their schools who will receive feedback from them on their actions and active research. This will result in a robust & purposeful research publication. We will set up a dedicated website to openly publish resources & reports; we anticipate that many schools in all 3 countries & wider will access our outputs/IOs. We will train 65 teaching staff directly in 4 joint Learning, Teaching and Training events and we will involve 40 teaching staff and 72 pupils in 2 joint short term mobility of pupils.Expected results are as follows:Teaching/support staff-Strengthening the profile of teaching/support staff - specifically their ability & confidence to develop the horizontal connectedness between subjects so that learning is more context based & relevant to all learners.-improvement of teachers' skills in designing & securing learning environment ensuring expeditionary learning & supporting active involvement of students- an increased understanding of experiential & expeditionary approach to learningPupils-Development & confidence of the use of skills across the curriculum-Development of skills necessary for 21st century living & learning - specifically CREATIVITY & INNOVATION-More confident to take risks in their learning (a more enterprising approach to learning)-Contribute to reduction in attainment gap between those pupils with fewer opportunities - poverty, gender, ethnicity, ability-Better engagement in school (e.g. reduction in absences, exclusions, low level classroom disruptions)Better student’s learning, stronger responsibility & feelings of belonging, deeper involvement and understanding of their own role in the process of learning & problem solving. The project will contribute to ET2020 targets and we anticipate that EL will create more purposeful learning for pupils, retain them in education and increase their attainment of basic skills of reading, mathematics and science.
