Program of digital competencies coordinators
Program of digital competencies coordinators: Bringing together technology companies for the development of digital competences and the effective use of digital tools in education.
The program of digital competences coordinators is a unique example of how it is possible to create a functioning ecosystem of companies, non-profit organizations and representatives of the pedagogical sphere, for the implementation of a quality educational program aimed at developing digital competencies of teachers and students and supporting digital transformation of schools. The ambition of the program is to bring innovative and practical teaching methods using technology to schools through a trained teacher - a coordinator of digital competencies. At the same time, the coordinator should provide support and assistance to his colleagues in applying these tools to the teaching process, regardless of the subject taught, and help them to improve their own digital skills. Part of the coordinator's role is also to contribute to the improvement of computer science teaching and the development of digital skills of students themselves, through the use of innovative tools and methodologies for computer science teaching and programming. Last but not least, the program aims to build a community of teachers for long-term knowledge sharing and mutual support.
