Project’s starting point: the gap between theoretical training and practice regarding mathematics and science, language and communication in Special Needs Education.
Causes of this phenomenon:
-theoretical character of training with a very large curricula;
-the lack of teaching resources that involve experiments;
-the low importance of projects and experiments in teaching and evaluation;
-curricula’s structure divided into different subjects that don’t create a complete (interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary) vision of common phenomenon;
-insufficient cooperation between teachers of different subjects that are directly related;
-the lack of working instruments that allows a good understanding and integration of knowledge from different subjects;.
Objectives :
1) To create a context for regional and international cooperation regarding trans and inter curricular teaching for Special Education Needs schools involved in project;
2) To create an early link between schools training and daily life challenges for the future adult, especially in labor market
3) To implement new teaching methods and materials that will encourage trans and inter curricular teaching.
4) To form in schools involved special teams of well trained teachers that are promoting innovative methods in didactical process.
5) To increase school’s European dimension by promoting closer relationships among students, teachers, families and other people related to schools from different countries with different
languages and cultures .
