Partnership for Excellence – Erasmus+ Teacher Academies

Summary

This Call falls under KA2 and specifically under Partnership for excellence. The action has a main objective to create European partnerships of teacher education and training providers to set up Erasmus+ Teacher Academies that will develop a European and international outlook in teacher education. These Academies will embrace multilingualism and cultural diversity, develop teacher education in line with the EU’s priorities in education policy and contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the European Education Area.

Detailed Call Description

The Erasmus+ Teacher Academies will build on the innovations and effective practice that exists within national teacher education and European cooperation and develop them further.

Additionally, other relevant actors such as teacher association, ministries and stakeholders will be included in order to develop and test strategies and programmes for professional learning that is effective, accessible and transferable to other contexts.
  • Enhance the European dimension and internationalisation of teacher education through innovative and practical collaboration with teacher educators and teachers in other European countries and by sharing experiences for the further development of teacher education in Europe. This collaboration will address the key priorities of the European Union such as learning in the digital world, sustainability, equity and inclusion, also by offering teachers courses, modules and other learning opportunities on these topics.
  •  Develop and test jointly different models of mobility (virtual, physical and blended) in initial teacher education and as part of teachers’ continuous professional development in order to enhance the quality and number of mobility as well as to make mobility an integral part of teacher education provision in Europe.
