About the project

This KA1 project  was based on an identified need to develop teachers and educators skills in pedagogical documentation and to make better use of the documentation in the process of transitions.

Objectives

The project’s purpose is to deepen the knowledge in pedagogical documentation as a means in transitions within and between preschool and school with the overall long-term objective of increasing the school results in Norrköping.

-“Pettirosso” and “Pollicino” preschools in Carpi;

-“Le Betulle”preschool in Cavriago.

The mobilities will take place in winter and late fall during a two-year period and will be followed up as part of the systematic quality work.
