Italian preschool education at its best: discovering innovative teaching and pedagogy approaches11/16/2023 The world of childhood and preschool education is in constant development and for preschool teachers is fundamental to keep up with the new trends and stay on top of what's current. This training course for preschool teachers will be a springboard for analysing the main principles, features and benefits of the best preschool methods.The new edition of the course “The best for preschool teachers” took place in Palermo from 05/11/2023 to 11/11/2023. The participants came from all across Europe, with Triin, Siiri and Epp from Nõlvaku Lasteaed and Kristina, Marliin and Kärt from Kohila kindergarten Sipsik in Estonia, Josefine, Emma, Annika and Erika from Södra förskoleområde Gävle in Sweden, Caroline and Alice from Eivers Lane Childcare CLG in Ireland, Maria and Maria from IKNO EKPAIDEYPHSIS TECNHIS KAI POLITISMOU KAVVADA in Greece. The course began with some breaking-ice practical activities, sharing expectations and contributions and discussing the best approaches related to preschool teaching. The teachers also had the opportunity to make presentations to show their schools to others: this was an excellent way to reach a wider understanding of preschool education in Europe. We also presented, of course, the Italian model for preschool education. Indeed, participants discovered and analysed different Italian preschool approaches, starting with the non-formal education and, to better comprehend the method, some activities and games were enforced: we explored the different phases of structuring non-formal education and we practised how to handle debriefing through questions aimed at fostering students' reflection. Another part of the course was visiting some local outdoor kindergartens, Istituto Internazionale M. Montessori and Istituto Minutoli, where the participants had the possibility to see well planned examples of outdoor education in particular by seeing children interacting with nature to develop their five senses through different and interesting activities, including music and dance. We also analyzed the main characteristics of the Montessori method. Thanks to the passionate teachers who attended us, this experience was an eye-opener on the deep need of current society to bring our kids back to a more authentic world, and the benefits this might entail for learning to respect the environment. Eventually, we discovered the principles and theories of the Reggio Emilia education method: they had the opportunity to learn more about the history, the materials, the projects and the experiences, which make the Reggio Emilia approach unique in the world. Indeed, the Reggio Emilia method is highly regarded for its child-centred, inquiry-based, and cooperative strategy for learning. |
Throughout the week, the participants had various challenges to enhance five essential skills: English usage, listening, reading, writing, and speaking. |
From the second day onward, each morning began with a review of the new knowledge gained through a recap activity. Learning a language demands effort and practice, which is why every theory session in the course was full of numerous exercises and activities.
We covered many grammar topics, such as recap of the tenses, usage of the phrasal verbs and adverbs. Each lesson was based on everyday situations, organizing daily tasks, and talking about routine activities, hours, and schedules. We also discussed topics like importance of learning the foreign language, travel, and planning for the future.
One day we spent together with level level English group in order to exchange the experience and learn from each other from the games and treasure hunt activity in the city center of Puerto de la Cruz. |
The participants enthusiastically embraced all the "speaking challenges" with courage. During breaks, they seized every opportunity to converse with fellow participants in English, exchanging best practices and insights about their schools and countries. It proved to be an exceptionally productive week, with significant improvements in their English skills. We hope they maintain this positive attitude in their continued English studies and cherish the multicultural environment they successfully established within just one week.

The teacher's responsibility involves imparting knowledge and fostering skill development in students. In contrast, a coach is tasked with providing support through active listening, questioning, and challenging. Despite the apparent distinctions between these roles, what if a teacher incorporated coaching principles and skills in the classroom?
This concept was fundamental during the new edition of the course “Emotional intelligence and coaching inside the school and educational context” that took place in Tenerife from 5/11/2023 to 11/11/2023. The participants came from all across Europe, with Artūrs, Edgars and Valērijs from Vidzeme Technology and Design Vocational School in Latvia, Grete and Lisett from Audentes School in Estonia, Silke and Juliane from Gustav-Stresemann Wirtschaftsschule Mainz in Germany, Caroline from grg8 Albertgasse in Austria, Janne and Irma from Pärnu Koidula Gümnasium in Estonia, Annija from Mērsraga Vidusskola in Latvia, Asmaa and Hafida from MBO College Airport in the Netherlands, An and Helena from UC Limburg in Belgium
After exploring the main differences and similarities between Coaching and Teaching, we explored some coaching tools that can be integrated in the classroom. Then, we covered the topic of Emotional Intelligence, reflecting on what it means being aware of our own feelings and understanding other people's emotions to connect with them. A teacher with emotional intelligence can understand their students' feelings and help them handle their emotions.
To explore self motivation, which is one of the pillar of Emotional Intelligence, it's important to grasp the art of setting goals, particularly SMART goals. Participants were encouraged to establish SMART goals, ensuring they were specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound.
In this course, we also learned about the importance of asking questions. Questions can stimulate thinking and self-reflection, generate constructive responses, and inspire actions and the development of ideas. This is why we explored how to create GROW questions, exploring Goals, Reality, Options and Will. We also looked at the "Solution-Focused Brief Coaching" model to encourage a solution-oriented mindset in students. Right after a theoretical introduction we put in practice everything we explored through a coaching session!
Another crucial coaching skill applicable in any workplace, including a classroom, is giving a constructive feedback. So we practiced how to build a constructive feedback, based on what we observed.
During this training week, participants shared their experiences and learned from each other's diverse backgrounds. Simultaneously, they enhanced their coaching skills and acquired knowledge on how to implement these skills in their classrooms.

Teachers might need to improve their Italian skills for many reasons, like teaching students, communicating with migrant children who stopped in Italy, or implementing a partnership with Italian schools. In addition, in a world so multicultural and connected, the knowledge of different languages is always a helpful strength.
The new course “Intensive Italian Language Course for Education Staff”, designed by ELA trainers took place in Palermo from 29/10/2023 to 04/11/2023. The participants, who came from France and Hungary, were in an intermediate B1/B2 level group, with Emeline from Lycée Saint-Louis, Anne and Myriam from Lycée polyvalent Jean Moulin and Katalin from Veszprémi SZC “SÉF” Vendéglátás-Turizmus Technikum és Szakképző Iskola.
The course was an immersive experience in Italian culture and language through dynamic and practical lessons and activities in Palermo, a multiethnic city so rich in culture and history filled with traditional food and historical buildings. During this week, the group had the chance to discuss a large variety of topics in Italian, as a result practising the language and gradually feeling more comfortable speaking it. With different assignments, they improved all aspects of the language, including comprehension and expression in writing and speaking.
Through the study of grammar topics such as tenses, conjugation, adverbs and vocabulary lessons, the participants immersed themselves in activities about work, culture, travel, hobbies, dreams, and public speaking. All the activities were very practical and based on life experiences and necessities. This practice-oriented learning method was very useful for the participants to understand more easily and use what they learned.
They started the first day of the course by presenting themselves and the other participants through a job interview exercise, and the group also had the opportunity to discuss different school systems depending on their countries. Then, working in pairs, they simulated a planned trip, preparing a luggage, to diverse locations from Northern to Southern Italy. They got familiarised with the different and numerous Italian dialects and increased their oral comprehension through listening practices.
ICT can be an important ally for language learning, so for this reason the group got to learn vocabulary and make creative presentations about their hobbies using online tools, which gave them a ton of ideas for their classes. They also got into the subject of food and cooking by translating recipes and recognising the names of ingredients needed for them. Moreover, they took some time to express themselves on the subject of public speaking and ways to make it better.
Ultimately, since it is fundamental in society, time was also part of the programme and gave a chance to talk about desires, plans and dreams, which the participants turned into a nice bucket list in Italian. We hope that they will still use it in the future!
Overall, participants had a fun and productive time while making significant progress in Italian! In the end, they acquired a richer vocabulary and beautiful memories and relationships through this experience.

In today's educational landscape, schools and educational programs are embracing individuals from rich socio-cultural backgrounds. A major challenge for educators lies in not only assisting students in getting acquainted with their new cultural surroundings but also in cultivating critical thinking and open-mindedness that appreciate and embrace diversity.
The course started by recognizing the significance of pondering words. Participant altogether tried to build an understanding of what “cultural diversity” means to them and reflected with the trainer on the challenges and needs that they face in everyday job related to interculturality. Being prepared to welcome diversities, overcoming language barriers and building bridges across different cultural norms and behaviors emerged to be the key want to learn of our group.
We firstly delved into the concept of identity as an initial exploration to dig deeper into the realm of diversity. Through visual and storytelling exercises, our participants contemplated their own identities and value sets, and explored the interconnection between identity and culture. Next, we reflected on the societal dynamics that lead to the vicious cycle of stereotypes. Participants were invited to reflect about how stereotypes can convert into prejudices and discrimination, generating a vicious cycle that strengthens stereotypes.
The biggest topic we explored was how to create an interculturally responsive class, the key ingredients considered have been cultural awareness, empathy and membership. First, participants have been involved in simulation activities to acknowledge and discuss about the challenges of intercultural communication. The activities can help students questioning common assumptions while thinking about finding connections among different cultures. The concept of empathy was explored with the goal of recognizing the best strategies to connect with students that are going through personal issues, this represented a chance for the participants to discuss about their perceived role as educators and not only teachers. Finally, we reflected on the importance of preparing students’ welcoming in the class in an inclusive way that could make the newly arrived students feel full members of the class in a non threatening way. A set of group challenges adaptable to different subject and classroom activities was proposed to show the importance of including every student in the learning process and allowing everyone to bring valuable contributions.
As part of the learning process and the (inter)cultural focus of the course, participants had the chance to get to know more about Italian culture, put some widely known stereotypes into context, share elements of the Polish culture, and learn language and curiosities about Italy in a fun and interactive way! |
