Description of Contents

The aim of the "tool on teacher training" is to give ideas and guidelines for action to support teacher training in EDC. The authors at first discuss the need for teacher training in EDC by for example analysing the challenges to the traditional model of citizenship and explaining the need for more effective systems of teacher education (chapter 1).

In subsequent chapters the teacher competences needed and the learning process and its specific requirements are discussed. Chapter 6 contains various case studies presenting experiences with implementing various EDC projects in different countries.

The "tool on teacher training" doesn't include teaching material for direct use in the classroom. I nevertheless incorporated it in our directory because it provides valuable background information - concerning for example the general conditions required for effectively teaching EDC - which can help teachers and educators to better understand the environment of EDC and thus improving their seminars and courses.
