Enhancing Teacher Image: A Pathway to Educational Excellence

This project focuses on improving the image of teachers and teaching across Europe, aiming to raise educational standards and enhance professional development. It incorporates innovative practices such as the use of e-portfolios, which enable teachers to showcase their achievements, reflect on their practice, and facilitate career advancement. The initiative is grounded in EU principles, emphasizing the need for both left and right brain development in education. By fostering critical and creative thinking, we prepare students for a world that values knowledge and understanding.
