About this app

The Education Knowledge Transfer (EKT) project is an Erasmus+ KA 2 knowledge alliance addressing EU educational practice in Initial Teacher Training (ITE). The project focuses on improving the school placement experience for future European teachers, which is a crucial component of ITE.
School placement provides student teacher education opportunities to learn about teaching and learning, gain practice in teaching, apply educational theory in a variety of teaching and learning situations and school contexts, and participate in school life in a structured and supported way. This experience involves collaboration between university professors (academic mentors) and non-university teaching tutors (school mentors) and plays a fundamental role in the training of future teachers. Through EKT, a group of teacher training institutions and e-learning service providers have come together to enhance the teaching practice experience to meet the needs of future teachers and schools.
EKT addresses this through the use of e-learning methods and resources. The e-learning methodologies and solutions developed in the EKT Project are designed to promote coordinated work dynamics between academic and school mentors who supervise and accompany the pedagogy student during the internship experience at the school and provide individualized support to the students of pedagogy. The EKT approach also facilitates self-learning and reflective thinking, skills that are essential for future teachers.
