European Innovative Teaching Award
European Innovative Teaching Award (EITA) is established to showcase outstanding teaching practices implemented in the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme and recognise the work of teachers and their schools who make an exceptional contribution to the profession. It should contribute to highlighting the value of European cooperation in the field of education and to the establishment the European Education Area.
The specific objectives of the planned EITA are to:
- celebrate the achievements of teachers and schools and give more visibility to their work;
- identify and promote outstanding teaching and learning practices;
- foster mutual learning between teachers and school staff;
- highlight the value of the Erasmus+ programme to European teacher collaboration.
The EITA shall be given to Erasmus+ completed projects, which will be selected by Erasmus+ (education and training) National Agencies on a yearly basis, starting in 2021.
The National Agency will select projects for the EITAs between finalised KA1 and KA2 (strategic partnerships) decentralised projects selected and managed by the Agency in question.
For the 2021 European Innovative Teaching Award the annual topic will be distance/blended/hybrid learning to show how using distance learning and teaching practices and related digital tools or other forms of blended learning contribute to effective and inclusive education.
