Abstract

While working for a new presence of Informatics in schools we face the compelling problem of in-service teachers training. Related solutions must consider the different needs of the different teachers. Besides, the serious lack of skilled teachers forces to offer activities through which teachers can shortly be operative and experiment their new competencies in schools. The project Teachers for Teachers (T4T) originates from these needs and offers hands on activities, called units, where trainees work on several different types of contents, adapt and/or extend them and then can directly propose their results in schools. These contents come from the cooperation between a group of university researchers and a group of in-service teachers who together design educational activities, then experience them in schools during one or more school years and finally share them with their colleagues during T4T meetings. The project name recalls that the activities are conceived by teachers and researchers and shared with other teachers, thus implementing a peer training model.
