Dear Teachers,
Welcome to the MENTEP Lithuania National Ecosystem (MENTEP – Mentoring Technology-Enhanced Pedagogy).
MENTEP is an education project coordinated by European Schoolnet. Education Development Centre (Lithuania) and 15 more partners from 13 countries are part of this project. It is expected that the project will:
- Boost teachers’ competence and confidence to use ICT in the classroom
- Increase the number of teachers able to innovate using ICT
- Enhance the uptake of ICT in teaching and learning
- Strengthen the professional profile of the teacher’s profession
- Improve data on teachers’ digital competence and training needs
- Promote stronger coherence between EU and national approaches to the assessment of Technology-Enhanced Teaching competence
The MENTEP project addresses the need in Europe for teachers able to innovate using ICT in their classroom and for improved data on teachers’ digital competence. MENTEP investigates the potential of an online self-assessment tool to empower teachers to progress in their Technology-Enhanced Teaching (TET) competence at their own pace. Project partners are developing an online tool and testing it in field trials in around 10 partner countries. At least 1000 teachers in each participating country will use the tool during the field trials in 2016–2017 school year. This will make it possible to show the impact of the tool on the professional development of teachers.
Each participating country has created its own national MENTEP ecosystem that aims to guide teachers throughout the process of their professional development. Here you may find Lithuanian ecosystem that provides access to various learning resources supporting 4 areas of TET competence:
Area 1. Digital Pedagogy
Area 2. Digital Content Use and Production
Area 3. Digital Communication and Collaboration
Area 4. Digital Citizenship
