On Feb. 4, the Palacký University’s Faculty of Education, in Olomouc, held an event for tutors participating in the Erasmus+ DigitalTA project. The event focused on training the 21 tutors in attendance how to effectively use the DigitalTA platform during their teaching practices.  During the training event, tutors worked on familiarizing themselves with the DigitalTA’s  platform’s features and functionalities from their perspective. Additionally, there were demonstrations of how the program can be integrated into the tutors’ mentoring of student teachers, as well as providing guidance on the uses of the platform. The session also explored ways the platform can help student teachers address and overcome challenges. By participating in this event, tutors were able to have a more comprehensive understanding of the possible applications of the DigitalTA platform.  Moreover, the training session also hoped to increase adoption of the platform in the tutor’s mentoring processes at the Faculty of Education. Furthermore, it also worked on enhancing support for student teachers through structured guidance and problem-solving through the use of the platform. Another purpose of the event was to improve the communication and collaboration between tutors and students teachers via the platform, likewise causing further discussions and potential expansion of the DigitalTA project based on tutor’s feedback and interest.  Overall, the tutor training event hosted by the Palacký University further promoted DigitalTA’s mission of developing a digital platform as a common framework for teachers induction. Thus, building a learning community based on reflective practice that will bring together providers of initial teacher education and continuing professional development for teachers. With this event, tutors gained more knowledge about the Erasmus Plus project and more effective ways to mentor and support student teachers.
