Course promoted by the Gaia Nascente Schools Association Training Center on the NAU Platform is accredited by the Scientific-Pedagogical Council for Continuing Education (CCPFC).
The first edition of one of the most recent additions to the training offer is taking place until March 29th. NAU Platform: the course "Cooperative Learning Communities, Inclusion, and Digital Environments." Aimed at primary and secondary school teachers, the course is the first NAU Platform training course accredited by the Scientific-Pedagogical Council for Continuing Education (CCPFC).
Under the Legal Framework for Continuing Teacher Training, the CCPFC is the entity responsible for accrediting training institutions, continuing teacher training initiatives, and specialized training courses. Specifically, this training aims to equip educators with innovative pedagogical practices that utilize digital resources and collaborative work to promote inclusion and academic success.
According to Carlos Silva, director of CFAE Gaia Nascente, this course aims to positively meet three objectives: "the importance of learning supported by Cooperative Communities and its introduction into classrooms as a preferred methodology; inclusive education as the foundation of a teaching-learning process for all; and the potential of technological environments in education."
Given this context, the course aims to share pedagogical practices that will maximize students' attention during class and promote academic success. These techniques are based on concepts such as collaboration, communication, and inclusion, through the creation of cooperative and digital environments.
