EURASHE is a partner in the TeachEx project on Teaching Excellence in Israel.
Underneath are further information on:
Teaching excellence is of primary importance for the learning environment in higher education. Thus, TEACHEX is a project conceived to contribute to the continuous professional development of academic staff by offering adequate support structures (Centers for Teaching Excellence) and innovative, high-quality, flexible programs designed to promote better teaching and therefore enhanced learning as well. Other specific goals of the project are:
- To improve quality of education by contributing to university management in accordance with academic staff needs, connecting personal and civic fulfilment with the ‘transferable skills required for a rapidly changing world;
- To develop and deliver training materials and follow up activities for staff working at CTEs;
- To create support structures in CTEs that outline conditions for project sustainability;
- To produce benchmark tools for teaching excellence that serve as medium and long term analysis;
- To disseminate the European experience in teacher training and preparation of documents necessary for enhancing the interaction between the CTEs and other educational key stakeholders in Israel.
The main outputs and outcomes are:
- To place sustainable structures for academic professional development in function of academic staff and student needs, connecting personal and civic fulfilment with the ‘transferable skills required for a rapidly changing world;
- To develop and deliver training materials for professional development including e-learning and active education in Israel;
- To evaluate the impact of training and use of materials in relationships between continuing education, academic and student groups through the piloting of professional courses;
- To create a digital repository with open educational resources of easy access to all;
- To disseminate outcomes broadly in Israel (i.e. website, newsletters, media) and internationally;
- To create informal networks through a social media app generating conditions for sustainability.
