Education & Development Leu

Organisation profile:DEVELOPMENT, TRANSITION, RENEWAL, MOVEMENT, GROWTH AND INNOVATION. These words describe a movement: from here to elsewhere, from now to later, from how things are to how they can be better. In education and training, we are constantly in motion: To inspire, from a desire to learn or a (social) need for more profound knowledge and ability, it takes principals and teachers who are capable and willing to make that move from something to something new. To empower this movement, the centre of expertise Education & Development focuses on practice-based research and the sharing of expertise on new insights into learning and development, educational vision, policy and innovation. We conduct research with and for education and answer practical questions from school teams. More specifically, we focus on the following fields: Early childhood education with a focus on stimulating socio-emotional development and cognitive development Innovative learning environments in education with a focus on school leadership, hybrid learning, development of vision on evaluation, modernization of secondary education and innovation in higher education Transversal competences with a focus on self-direction, critical thinking, international orientation and agency; with a focus on giving voice, choice and ownership in learning and living together at school Professional learning of school staff with a focus on starting teachers and school principals
