Teachers play a
pivotal role in the delivery and promotion of entrepreneurial mindsets. Often
teachers are relied upon to translate policies into practice even when the
aims, content and work methods of entrepreneurship education are unclear.
Greater efforts need to be made to build up teacher confidence and skills to
promote creative and entrepreneurial learning and abilities in an active
learner-centric approach.
The ADEPTT
partnership is composed of 13 institutional partners from 8 EU countries
(Spain, Iceland, Belgium, Netherlands, England, Wales, Portugal and Norway) and
the project will provide a more focused, hands-on training model that
contributes to supporting and improving entrepreneurial teaching practice.
A
teacher training module will be produced, aiming to bolster teacher confidence
by adopting more innovative and entrepreneurial behaviour through a personalized
and self-guided process that builds on elements already present in their
teaching. ADEPTT is a starting point to offer existing curricula a fresh
approach through practitioner-generated ideas that are small-scale, low-cost
and low-risk that lead to new actions, positive change in teaching practices
and improved outcomes for students and educational institutions. The pilot
courses are just starting and will complete by June 2013.
The
third meeting of the ADEPTT project took place in Berlin, last 14-15 February
2013. Hosted by the GermanChildren and Youth Foundation, it was an opportunity for all partners
to exchange ideas and approaches about the pilot training to prepare primary
and secondary education teachers to better promote entrepreneurial mindsets in
their students. You can read the full meeting report here
ADEPTT will
be presented at the Youth Entrepreneurship Strategy (YES) National Continuous
Professional Development (CPD) hub Knowledge Exchange Conference next 14th of
March in Llandrindod Wells, Wales UK. The target audience are Welsh stakeholders interested in Youth
Entrepreneurship Strategy (YES) in the frame of the Welsh National Continuous
Professional Development (CPD) More info here or
