On November 13, CFIE Segovia presented the platform to 75 novice teachers and 90 mentors who will participate in the pilot, to indicate the activities they will have to complete to help improve the development of the tool.
How does this platform work?
The platform offers five modules:
- My experience: It is a space to discuss problems and solutions in the classroom, ask for advice and receive support.
- Reflection management: In this section, teachers and trainee teachers will carry out a self-reflection on their teaching practices.
- My Tutoring: Users can ask for help and guidance from experienced professionals at different educational levels, both individually and in groups.
- Case studies: this section contains a database of case studies for analysis and strategy development.
- Resource repository: This module draws on user experiences and integrates a collection of filterable educational materials to improve teaching practice.
To help users navigate and connect with relevant topics and discussions, content is organized into specific themes: digital technology; classroom management; school culture; curriculum, planning and development; communication and relationship building; collaboration and professional development; diversity and inclusion.
Novice teachers will be able to carry out certain actions within the platform, such as, for example, reading international experiences, sharing an experience with the learning community, etc.
On the other hand, mentors will be able to share an experience, develop a case study and offer individual mentoring, among other actions. A key part of their role is to understand and fully utilize all the functionalities of the educational platform to effectively guide and support trainee teachers in navigating and making the best use of the platform for their learning and development.
All persons participating in the pilot tests must complete the platform’s satisfaction questionnaire in order to propose improvements to the partners.
