Professor Ana Paula Silva participated in the initial kick off meeting, of the Pedagogy and Practice (PedPack) project that took place in Richmond, Yorkshire, UK, from 28-30 November 2018. The agenda included the detailed analysis of the project, its management, evaluation and dissemination. In the development of this project will be made the reformulation and implementation of a teacher training package, adapted to each national context, in five areas: Learning Structuring, Teaching Models, Assessment for Learning, Development of Autonomous and Effective Learners and Management of Classroom.

These areas are considered crucial for improving teaching and learning in schools. From this implementation an impact study will be done, which design and supervision of the implementation, by the partners of the 5 participating countries, will be in charge of Professor Ana Paula Silva. With the data from this impact study, the CeiED researcher will produce a scientific paper that will be published in an international reference journal.

PedPack’s work will be finalized in 2020 and the closing meeting of the project will take place at the Lusophone University of Humanities and Technologies, welcoming all partners from the five participating countries. In the meantime, a national seminar will be held, where the results achieved by the project will be disseminated both in our country and in the other participating countries. For those who are interested, we will be informing about the development of PedPack over the next two years. Stay tuned!
