The two-year CPDLab project, started in October 2011, aims to improve the quality of ICT-related Continuing Professional Development available to teachers, school leaders and other school staff and help schools become effective learning environments by offering a portfolio of training courses directly related to the needs of teachers in the future classroom.

Ministries in a number of European Schoolnet working groups, projects and initiatives have already identified some key competences that are not being adequately addressed by current CPD provision at either national or European level.

The CPDLab project will specifically design, test and disseminate three, five-day CPD courses that support:

  1. Innovative pedagogical use of Interactive Whiteboard technologies in secondary schools.
  2. Improved safety policies in secondary schools, addressing issues such as cyber bullying, use of social networks, responsible use of mobile and Internet technologies, etc.
  3. Implementation and dissemination of teaching and learning activities for the future classroom.

As part of the dissemination and exploitation activities of the project, a course for policy makers will also be designed based on these topics.

Each course developed in the project will be delivered in the Future Classroom Lab, a Brussels-based “living lab” dedicated to showcase new ways of teaching and learning. Teachers, heads of schools, ICT advisers and other relevant stakeholders from across Europe will be able to apply for funding under the European Commission’s Comenius programme in order to attend these new training opportunities.
