ICSE Academy

Our vision is to be a lighthouse for STEM teacher education and training in Europe. We are driven by our values: teamwork, open-minded world view, reflection, responsibility and excellence.

Description

The ICSE Academy, an international consortium of 13 higher education institutions and research institutes in Europe, is dedicated to enhancing professional development for STEM teachers and translating it into effective practice. It promotes exchange and research, aiming to deepen understanding of STEM teacher professional development and its broader impact on STEM education and society. By aligning with EU initiatives, the ICSE Academy aims to reduce the number of low-performing STEM learners and stimulate interest in STEM careers essential for addressing societal challenges. Through innovative approaches rooted in best practices and cross-border collaboration, it aims to cultivate a high-quality STEM teacher workforce, fostering mobility and collaboration among teachers to instill a robust European dimension in STEM education.

We provided these formats of professional development:

Job-shadowing (hybrid), European workshop series (online), and international summer schools in Czechia and Netherlands for pre- and in-service teachers, researchers
