Question 7

What is important?

Accepted Answer

The key areas to consider in your application are outlined in the Erasmus+ Programme Guide

To summarise, you should think about:

1. Relevance of the project: How does the teacher development course at the European Teachers Academy relate to the priorities of the Erasmus + mobility project and meet the needs and objectives of the participating organisations and individual participants? How are high-quality learning outcomes guaranteed? To what extent is the international scope of the participating organisation reinforced?

2. Quality of the project design and implementation: How are the participants appropriately selected and prepared for the teacher training course at the European Teachers Academy? How does the course fit the one/two year European Development Plan of the organisation? How are the learning outcomes recognised? How is the course being arranged, managed and supported?

3. Impact and dissemination: What measures are being used to evaluate the success of the project? What is the impact of the project on the individual and the participating organisation? What dissemination will occur after the course?

Question 8

Can I take part in your courses without Erasmus+ funding?

Accepted Answer

Of course you can! We are happy to have you take part in the European Teachers Academy teacher training courses regardless of how you finance your course.
