Last Update: Tuesday, 23-Apr-2013 23:20:55 PDT

Introduction

From the communication of Phoenix - (event@phoenixkm.eu):
Which course?

Training of trainers to provide basic ICT skills' education to people with disabilities, taking on board their specific needs.

Is it good for me?

Target audience:
- Teachers (Pre-school, primary, secondary, vocational, adult, special needs)
- Teacher trainers
- Careers officers, educational guides and counsellors
- Inspectors
- Headteachers/principals/managers of schools/organisations offering adult education
- Other (Paid or voluntary) management staff in the institution/organisation
- Non-teaching administrative staff
- Members of students/teachers councils in adult education
- Representative organizations of persons with disabilities

Hmm... what is it about?

The objectives of the training course are:
- To offer an inclusive approach to teaching, learning and assessment of (accessible) basic ICT skills, aiming at inclusive education (people with disabilities within regular education) and have this inclusive approach also embedded in daily teaching practices;
- To help trainees understand the basic ICT challenges but also competences related to disabilities;
- To help trainees understand and implement the teaching of basic ICT skills to people with disabilities and how to accommodate for them;
- To help trainees understand the cultural and social differences linked to people with disabilities coming from different backgrounds (e.g. migrants, refugees, ethnic communities, people from outside Europe or intra-EU mobility);
- To help trainees experience, through visits to local VET centres, how local organizations for people with disabilities, as well as disabled individuals themselves, address the issues of acquiring basic ICT skills and how this can consequently improve their employability potential;
- To help trainees acquire hands-on experience by role-playing in implementing accessible teaching practices.
