"The project is designed to develop new teaching methods and strategies, to promote innovative models of digital and entrepreneurial education; to facilitate curriculum integration; and to build basic skills. It will equip teachers with new skills and strategies, to help them to deliver high quality learning opportunities, and meet the needs of their students. The project will use a system of teaching known as the ""Rolling Role” model of education. This was conceived originally for use in secondary schools; it was designed, in particular, to address the fragmentation of the school curriculum at secondary level, and build cross-curricula planning and integration between subjects. The system fosters multidisciplinary and inter-disciplinary approaches, and integrates the teaching of basic skills (maths, science and literacy). In this way, it supports the development of transversal skills (applied across different subject areas). The “Rolling Role” system is also an enquiry method, and a child (or student) centred approach to learning. In this way, the system addresses key entrepreneurial skills.In recent years, educators and organisations have recognised the potential in using digital technology in “Rolling Role” projects. Online platforms can be used, not simply to develop a project between educators in the same organisation, but in different organisations – even in different parts of the globe; so enabling geographically dispersed groups of participants to create work based around a common context – and share it online with each other. The digital application of the system means that “Rolling Role” can be used in a variety of educational contexts. Our aim is to embed the use of the system in partner countries; and to develop and extend its use, at primary and tertiary, as well as secondary levels. One outcome of the project will be the development of new and innovative curricula and educational methods. Partners will produce ""models"" of the system in practice, together with teaching resources and schemes of work that can be used in the future by other teachers in their own schools. The resources will be suitable for use in multilingual classrooms. The project will be used in partner countries as a model of good practice, and integrated in teacher training programmes. The project will target the following groups:(1) students from disadvantaged backgrounds (2) students from diverse ethnic and migrant backgrounds (3) students with learning difficulties and low achievement in basic skillsSome 500 students in different organisations will participate in the project; with 280+ estimated as falling into the above categories.The project will bring together education providers at different levels. The partners are: two UK arts and cultural organizations (Midland Actors Theatre / Bertz Associates); a UK primary school (Woodrow First School); a combined primary & secondary school in Italy (Istituto Comprensivo via Ferraironi IC Simonetta Salacone); a secondary school in Spain (Instituto de Enseñanza Secundaria Padre Juan de Mariana); and a university in Poland (University of Lodz).Partners will plan schemes of work together, which they will then deliver with their own students. The project will pioneer a model of digital and entrepreneurial education, and curriculum integration, in schools and other institutions. It will also target young from disadvantaged groups. A project website will be created, and afilmed record of the project will be made; it will be edited, and project videos will be posted online. The films will show planning meetings, interviews with participants, and project delivery in classrooms in different countries. We will also produce a Teaching Guide, and Schemes of Work and teaching resources, so that other teachers can use the project in their own classrooms. The project will have a wider legacy. It will be rolled out and embedded as a teaching programme in a number of schools/colleges in partner countries; and it will also be incorporated in teacher training courses. We will raise awareness of the project through national and international networks, We believe that it will have an impact on educational policies in partner countries, and on curriculum development, in its promotion of an innovative model of digital and entrepreneurial education, and its emphasis on curriculum integration. It will also offer educators new ways to address diverse needs in the classroom, as a child-centred and enquiry-based form of pedagogy."
