Thematic Field: Maths, Science and Technology School Math in learning English SMILE + Goal: Go Outside And Learn Comenius Bilateral School Partnerships Countries involved: FR, PL Key words: Cross-subject collaboration, Teacher education, ICT, Problem solving Description: The project was created in response to the lack of students’ interest in learning (especially maths and science), and also sought to improvement of foreign language skills. The S.M.I.L.E. project aimed to reverse these negative trends and strengthen cooperation between students, teachers and local communities. It focused on learning languages and maths and concentrated on using new methods in teaching, which were are effective and attractive for students. The project is a good example how standard cooperation project evolves into an eTwinning project. In the bilateral partnership teachers and students experimented with many innovative lessons or activities using modern communication tools, working in a CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) context. The results of the bilateral partnership were produced as tutorials or videos. In the eTwinning GOAL! project (Go Outside And Learn) teachers cooperated, planed and shared ideas of lessons outside the classroom, which were a part of ordinary school timetable. The topics of these lessons were related to curricula and integrated several subjects. Students cooperated and communicated using electronic devices and the Internet, and worked in groups. GOAL! is an example of Problem Based Learning project integrated in the school timetable and curriculum. Teachers analysed, compared and used different methods in teaching including computer programmes, on-line teaching and CLIL.

Thematic Field: Maths, Science and Technology EU-EMSET Excellence in Maths and Natural Sciences Comenius Regio Partnership Institutions involved: Partner Regio 1 Coordinator organisation: City of Västerås, Pedagogiska nämndernas stab/LEA Key words: Teacher education, Teaching materials Description: Partner organisations: SE - Sweden Rönnbyskolan, Västerås St Ilians skola, Västerås Lindboskolan, Hallstahammar ABB (Automation and Power Technologies), Västerås Vafab Miljö AB Mälardalen University Mediecenter Mälardalen AB Asköviken Nature School Västmanlands Kommuner och Landsting Partner Regio 2 Coordinator organisation: International Education Office, Gloucestershire County Council Partner organisations: Cirencester Deer Park School UK - United Kingdom Wyedean School and Sixth Form Centre University of Gloucestershire Gloucestershire First Economic Partnership Forest Education Business Partnership Real Ideas Organisation Before starting the project the local authorities identified a need to improve the quality of education in science, maths and technology, and designed a project which provided measures for stimulating teaching and learning through developing a joint framework for supporting students' involvement in learning. The objectives of the partnership were to improve the quality of education in maths and the natural sciences, and to increase the take-up of these subjects in upper secondary and higher education. The project resulted in university co-operation on initial teacher training, identifying and sharing materials and resources for teaching and learning (by using a web-based learning facility Natural Science and Technology for all and developing units of cross-curricular work in maths, science and technology for primary and secondary schools. The regions also learned from practices already in place and considered implementing similar measures at home. The project triggered further bilateral cooperation between the schools in Sweden and the UK on students' preferences for learning Maths and Science (2010 – 2012) and another Comenius partnership (2011 – 2013) on how young Europeans could build a sustainable future together, which involves schools from France, Hungary, Spain and Turkey.
