The project ACIIS – Academy for creative, innovative and inclusive schools intends to set up a network of teacher trainers at pre-service and
in-service level together with schools to promote innovative teaching methods which use drama techniques and drama digital tools as a
means to include children with differences within the school and support their education and development.
Providers of initial teacher education and providers of continuing professional development will train student teachers and in-service
teachers. They will engage school teams in designing and trying out teaching strategies and innovative digital drama tools, while schools
will give feedback and help to develop effective forms of virtual, in life and blended trainings for teaching languages, humanities and
science in inclusive education.
ACIIS project will:
87 teachers from school lab teams at Pilot training courses, and 81 teachers – newcomers at International training courses who will then
incorporate new teaching strategies and ICT drama tools into their teaching practice.
Train 75 teacher trainers who will then incorporate the innovative pedagogies into their training courses and lead same training with up to
1.125 teachers during the lifetime of the project.
ACIIS will carry out three innovation camps where teachers, students, professors, school leaders and representatives from public authorities
will work together on defined challenges of inclusive education. Generated concepts will be used for developing drama ICT tools and other
teaching resources.
Furthermore, ACIIS will organize 11 Fairs of creative teaching ides in order to share good practice and enthuse more teachers about using
ACIIS strategies and tools for 495 educational stakeholders.
Finally, ACIIS plans to prepare policy brief including recommendations for educational policy change, which will be shared at 4 Round table
discussions and final event across Poland, Austria, Slovenia, Italy and Croatia.
