A new European initiative ‘Creative Classrooms’

The reality – implementation gap
While ICT is well mainstreamedoutside schools, formal E&T is only in its early adopter’s stage.
Education can not stay behind these changes in an increasing networked and digital society.

Shortages• Teachers lack pedagogical strategies and
experiences to effectively use ICT
• Professional development of teachers lacks the pedagogical, innovation and practical dimension
• Assessment of digital literacy is not widespread
• Major lack of systematic impact in practices
• Innovations not enough supported by changes in pedagogy
• Discrepancy between children’s under-use of ICT at school and frequent and sophisticated use at home

What is at stake?
+ The infrastructure to
promote ICT Research base to
guide the process Bottom-up
initiatives (pilots,research, policies, action plans, …)
–
No systemic integration and mainstreaming in formal education
but

LACK OF SYTEMIC IMPACT
– Top-down policies not close to users and practitioners
– Lack of brokerage mechanisms to policy makers
– Lack of evidence-base for policy making – Small scale, grass roots initiatives– Short-term - lack of sustainability/ scalability– No transferability of experiences– No whole systems integration and leadership

Objectives linked to Europe 2020 & ET2020
IDEA: Creative Classrooms
Increasing digital competence/ e-literacy
ICT enhancing innovation of E&TSupport to Member States to mainstream ICT use in educational policies and practices
Creative Classrooms
The term ‘Classrooms’ = all types of learning environments
The term ‘Creative’ = innovation of learning and teaching process with the support of
ICT
Focus on what is possible in today’s practices with today’s technologies

What ? Creative Classrooms initiative Real-life experimentations in local context (micro)– Based on concrete problems– Engaging the whole educational system – Carried by users – bottom-up
Experimentations which are linked up (meso)– Upscaling of ‘islands of innovations’– Networking, sharing, community practices
Guidance by policy makers / decision makers– Evidence-based policy making - transfer– Top-down meets bottom-up– Towards systemic uptake
European-wide cooperation in policy development

The Initiative on Creative Classrooms is innovative due to:
its experimental nature
its transversal scope
the upscaling of innovations
making changes systemic and sustainable
emphasis on European–wide policy
development

Possible outcomes
Providing guidance to policy makers / practitioners
‘Learning what works and what does not’ to evidence-based policy making
Reaching a large number of learners, institutions, learning centres
Linking policy experimentations in real life settings
Upscaling best practices across Europe Increase impact on systemic level Involving multiple stakeholders (informal, non-formal & formal)
