"Digital Skills Development for 21st Century Special Education Needs Teachers" Online Resources

Digiskills-Online Learning Platform

Scholars found out numerous challenges for SEN teachers in the field that include their adaptability to adopting new methods and tools, their ICT skills, obstacles on professional development pathways, and access to innovative approaches. Given the challenges above, along with the recent negative effects on education and accessibility of children with SEN to online learning in the COVID-19 era, the main pillars of the “Digi-Skills SEN” Project are designed as follows: 

- Increase SEN teachers’ professional and personal competencies in ICT, 

- Leverage the understanding of better and authentic approaches and methodologies for ICT use in education,

- Improve ICT tools and methodology use of SEN teachers, 

- Boost the digital competencies of SEN teachers and increase their strategic use of ICT and Open Educational Resources as a way to achieve professional development and deliver higher quality and authentic education for children with SEN.
