Utilising these technological advancements to support good-quality training and reflective professional development are fast becoming essential parts of a teacher’s professional life.

In former projects many good tools were developed with great enthusiasm and piloted in the area of second chance education that supported teachers to become more confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged. The tools include competence cards, quality cycles, assessment software, evaluation methods, mobility practices, teaching programmes and mentor trainings alongside a number of other tools that supports the education and employability for the NEET-group in Europe. | Utilising these technological advancements to support good-quality training and reflective professional development are fast becoming essential parts of a teacher’s professional life.

The online European infrastructure in second chance education will be built on three pillars: | |||
1. SERVICES: under the SERVICES-umbrella existing quality tools will be made available and continuously upgraded. These quality tools are partly developed for a) quality assurance of international placements b) online community building c) quality assurance of educational organisations and d) good practice testing. | |||
2. RESOURCES: under the RESOURCES-umbrella existing good practices/resources will be made available. Curricula, methodologies, teaser practices, studies and other tools will be provided as a “pick-of-the-shelve”-concept. | |||
3. TRAININGS: under the TRAININGS-umbrella training offers and demands are connected. | |||
In E-PODS focus is put on the elements of resources and trainings in secondchanceeducation.eu. These two elements will be further developed for teachers/trainers working in second chance education. | |||
