Description:<br />
The geographical, economic and in philosophical outlook similarities of both regions<br />
inspired this project to enhance teacher professionalism and collaboration to<br />
enable transferable life-long learning skills to empower all students to be active<br />
learners within a world class education system and equip them for making informed<br />
judgments within today’s rapidly changing society.<br />
The joint expertise across the partnership used evolving and innovative approaches<br />
to learning to learn, incorporating personal learning and thinking skills within an<br />
environment that develops the entrepreneurial spirit and the use of new technologies.<br />
It draw together, students, schools – primary, secondary and tertiary, universities,<br />
local/regional authorities and associated businesses to utilize, share and develop<br />
particular strengths and expertise to provide a European dimension to both learning<br />
outcomes and teacher involvement.<br />
The project had large impact; the final conference was arranged as two professional<br />
development days for all teachers and head teachers in the whole Swedish<br />
municipality and the UK partner made up the majority of the workshops offered very<br />
successfully. Applying Entrepreneurial Learning and Personal Learning and Thinking<br />
Skills (PLTS) in the classroom makes students aware of their own learning process,<br />
helps students acquire transferable learning skills and enables teachers to give skillrelated<br />
and formative feedback.<br />
The result was a digital self-assessment tool with which the student him-/herself<br />
assess his/her abilities for the PLTS; the result of the self-assessment can be used by<br />
the student and tutor when they meet. The tool (educational software) can be<br />
ordered and the printed materials can be directly down able.<br />
