ICSE STE(A)M Vision – nieuw EU project
Titel: ICSE STE(A)M vision
Empowering teachers as STE(A)M-visionaries
Co-creating systemic change across Europe through interdisciplinary multi-stakeholder collaboration
Abstract
The overall objective of the ICSE STE(A)M vision is to create a sustainable interdisciplinary European partnership on integrated STE(A)M, offering clear European prospects for STE(A)M teacher education.
Central to this endeavour is a high-capacity consortium that brings together 7 higher education institutions (all major providers of initial and ongoing teacher education), two European-level teacher training organisations, and 3 schools. By strategically combining three established alliances to form a ‘hyper-network’ – the ICSE consortium of 18 higher education institutions, European Schoolnet’s network of over 30 Ministries of Education, and
EduNet’s strong links with teachers and policy makers – the consortium ensures broad European reach and robust regional implementation.
Our objectives in this project are threefold.
1. We develop a high-quality, integrated STE(A)M teacher training programme – 8 practice-based modules co-created by experts and practitioners from different STEM disciplines and based on real-world challenges.
2. We implement this programme in accessible mobility formats (virtual, blended, physical), enabling intercultural exchanges and shaping a valuable European STE(A)M learning community to offer teachers the opportunity for continuous training in an international setting and keep them motivated for their job.
3. We embed policy dialogue at all levels (European, national, regional), using seminars, briefs and networking to inspire evidence-based reforms in teacher education systems.
The sustainability of the partnership will be ensured through established networks and ongoing support structures that will outlast the project itself. A systemic approach to co-creation, quality assurance, and a convincing plan for sustainable STE(A)M programme implementation will maximise longterm impact. With a strong European dimension and targeted communication with stakeholders, our project will achieve lasting improvements in STE(A)M teacher education.
