Work Package Leaders: University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany (UDE)
Objectives
This work is the core of the project and involves the design and production of activities for teachers and students, together with guidance on approaches to teaching and assessment and the use of technology.
Description of Work
The work will be split into mathematics and science.
Four partners will focus on the development of the science toolkit - UDE will lead with the support of ENS de Lyon, NUIM and NTNU. (23.5 PMs)
UNOTT and UNEW will co-lead the development of the mathematics toolkit with the support of UNITO. (20 PMs)
The workload is equally balanced between science and mathematics.
UU and AIMSSEC will focus on the development of their own particular strand of the mathematics toolkit - digital environments.
UDE will coordinate the development of both the mathematics and science strands.
The development of the toolkit will be informed by WP1 and WP2. This WP will involve the majority of partners as either major or secondary contributors to:
3.1 Develop a prototype toolkit for teachers to support their use of formative assessment in the classroom including advice and support in using technology
3.2 Evaluation of prototype
3.3 Develop final toolkit
3.3.1 Case studies
3.3.2 Starting points
3.3.3 Activities
3.3.4 Tools
3.4 Produce a professional development package to support teachers in their use of the toolkit
3.5 Evaluate professional development package
3.6 Produce final version of professional development package
Description of Deliverables
D3.1 Prototype toolkit: A prototype toolkit for teachers to support their use of formative assessment in the classroom including advice and support in using technology
D3.2 Evaluation of toolkit: The evaluation will be an iterative process in continuous operation from month 10 to month 25
D3.3 Final toolkit: The final toolkit consists of:
3.3.1 Case studies
3.3.2 Starting points
3.3.3 Activities
3.3.4 Tools
D3.4 Prototype professional development package for teachers: A prototype professional development package to support teachers in their use of the toolkit
D3.5 Evaluate professional development package: The evaluation will be an iterative process in continuous operation from month 10 to month 25
D3.6 Final professional development package: Final version of professional development package
