Teachers and principals from 18 schools from different parts of Bulgaria<\/strong> got together on Feb 8\/9 in Plovdiv and on Feb 22\/23 in Veliko Tarnovo to share experience and hone their teaching skills. The training is part of the European project FIERST<\/a> whose goal is to disseminate best practices for inclusive education through the development of 21-st century skills in the classroom and the establishment of professional learning communities at school.<\/strong> The partner organizations from Bulgaria are Teach For Bulgaria, the Ministry of Education and Science, and New Bulgarian University. The Bulgarian Union of Teachers is an associated partner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All schools, selected to participate in this phase of the project<\/a>, attended the training. As part of FIERST, their teams are learning how to create professional communities at school and how to teach 21-st century skills in the classroom. Each school has to pick one skill and focus on developing it throughout the school year. At the end of the school year teachers and principals from all partner schools will have the opportunity to share their results with a wide audience of colleagues and experts at a special event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project trainers are Teach For Bulgaria alumni. They all have teaching experience and expert knowledge acquired in a variety of educational institutions and organizations. Besides participating in such trainings, partner schools are also supported by Teach For Bulgaria coordinators throughout the school year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe introduced this project in Bulgaria in order to encourage more teachers to address the needs of their students, especially those from vulnerable communities, by using contemporary methods of teaching. Professional communities of practice are a key element in this process and give teachers a platform to share their challenges and solutions, to work together, and to implement best practices in order to improve their classrooms,\u201d shared Ivelina Pashova, Head of Training at Teach For Bulgaria.\u00a0 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
