    Overview

    Collaboration is essential on all levels of our lives and this is why it has been named as a core future competence in the 4C model. Based on evidence, teachers may perform better when working together professionally, by forming learning and support communities. With collegial support being critical for resilience and growth in education, COSERE project seeks to establish the significance and the grounds of collegiality in education as a good practice of any contemporary school culture.

    In order to offer support to improve school resilience and growth, and to increase the educational leadership potential, it is important to address the digital transformation of the target groups. Educational leadership, teachers and other school staff need to be digitally competent in order to be able to implement collegial support. This will be done through an e-learning platform which will include MOOCs in the form of digital mini games and scenarios for the staff to use.

    COSERE project aims at raising awareness and deeper understanding of the benefits and the development of collegial support culture in education.
