School climate and class largely affects the overall results of school work, motivation, job performance, satisfaction of staff and students (parents indirectly) with the school. It’s also affects the way how teacher communicate with her/his pupils, and creates relationships between teachers and pupils. Building a relationship of teacher and pupil is dependent on the ability of teachers taken their immediacy, humor, ability to listen, accept, or acceptance.
These skills of teachers are particularly important now that societies see increasing problems with ESL, levels of tension and aggression, which is also transmitted on the behavior of children in schools.
Education concept across Europe therefore needs to overcome stereotypical interaction schemes between teachers and students that adversely affect the performance of pupils and development his positive attitude towards learning.
These are techniques that many teachers lack, because it was not part of their training. The project aims to address this gap and provide the needed training using extencively interactive learning tools.
Project GAME is directed mainly to teachers from primary and secondary schools. Elaborated products (game) will provide especially elaborated content which will increase knowledge, skills and competences of teachers.
The main objectives of GAME can be defined as follows:
OBJ1: Enhance access for teachers to the training in the area of SEBD, developing online game and open educational resources tailored to needs of teachers.
OBJ2: Introduce a modern training delivery method, enabling teachers to follow flexible learning pathways as regards the acquisition of skills relevant to the problematic children behaviour in an informal context.
OBJ3: Enable municipalities, VET providers and associations of vulnerable/disadvantage groups to offer courses to parents or social workers with the aim to improve situation with the problematic children.
OBJ4: Ensure sustainability of project results through the active involvement of public VET providers, social organisations and municipalities in the partnership countries.
