Integrated Digital Educational Leadership for the Future - IDEAL Future Teaching Academy

Current approaches to developing digital compeence amongst educational leaders across Europe are inconsistent. Educators require a coherent sustainable approach to digital competence development. This project aims to support the digital competence journey from digital educator to digital leader!

Description

The IDEAL Futures Teacher Academy will develop a range of professional development (PD) activities, a certification framework/micro credits and a collaborative digital hub to provide opportunities for transformative dialogue to support educators to develop as future digital educational leaders. It will support pre-service, in-service teachers and educational leaders to consider the challenges facing education in the future and develop a vision based on their individual beliefs and the needs of their school communities, through collaboration with the wider education and technology sector. They will be supported to simultaneously solve specific challenges in the area of digital educational leadership and acquire the necessary skills and expertise through formal online PD.
