Project Summary

The particular moment, that all European countries are experiencing in tackling the health emergency, has set in motion energies and skills to guarantee students continuity of education through distance learning.
A situation of this type requires adequate resources that allow you to cope with stress, anxiety, fears and difficulties related both to the management of work and everyday life and to digital skills. And it is in cases like these that attention is crucial not only to the quality of the products supplied, but also to the quality of the teacher-student educational relationship and, not least, of the family.
Collaboration between schools, families and other local services becomes the key element for identifying training strategies aimed at establishing a path of organic and complete growth.
It is therefore necessary to provide teachers, but also parents (as tutors of their children) tools and skills for the management of distance learning.
The strong point and the establishment of a relationship with parents is identified in the School / Family relationship which allows them to share ideas related to continuity with them, starting a daily process of co-construction. Furthermore, socio-emotional education is recognized for its ability to obtain positive effects both on the emotional and cognitive level of students, an enhancement of mental well-being and the achievement of adequate personal and social goals.
The project therefore intends to achieve the following results:
• Define and analyze Good Practices 2020 in the context of educational continuity and distance learning, in the European context;
• Consolidate the professional profile of teachers and the educational profile of parents for didactic continuity through training courses of socio-emotional skills;
• Define tools for analyzing and evaluating the quality of distance teaching skills.
• Improve the skills of teachers and parents in the management of online teaching.
More specifically, this proposal intends to conduct a survey on innovative distance learning systems for: technology, approach and methodology; the aim is to identify good practices at European level. Through specific research tools, the activities adopted in particular during the health emergency and which have allowed the achievement of positive results both in terms of learning and strengthening the student / teacher and student / teacher / parents relationship will be identified.
To ensure the adoption of an adequate teaching system, it is also proposed to implement an IT tool for assessing the continuity of teaching; you have the possibility, therefore, to conduct an accurate analysis about the feasibility of online lessons in the school and family context, in terms of teachers’ skills and resources available at school and within the family (support devices for online teaching, space, availability of parents, etc…).
In addition, it is proposed to define a toolkit to promote socio-emotional skills in the context of online teaching aimed at parents and teachers. It is a theoretical-practical tool capable of enhancing an awareness of their motivation skills in adults and, at the same time, providing useful information to support students’ socio-emotional skills.
