Tiziana FINOCCHIARO – writes:

I am a foreign language teacher, and Head teacher for the school Digital curriculum in a secondary low school. My passion for digital teaching has led me, over the years, to achieve formal recognitions and to start experimental teaching and the flipped-class.

As a teacher trainer, I am very concerned with digital matters, and I have been working to train teachers in cooperation with educational organizations and agencies to strengthen the implementation of motivating and inclusive educational approaches, supported by technology.

I have recently cooperated with Eniscuola at a national level, supporting more than 350 teachers from all over Italy in starting distance learning and innovative teaching. 

Being on duty for all EU funded projects (PON, FSE, FESR), I have also been involved in the Erasmus+ programme since 2014, both as a coordinator and as a teachers trainer on methodological matters and European topics; training events were hosted in Faro (Portugal), Loches (France), Bremen (Germany), Burgos (Spain), Warsaw (Poland) - this meeting was hosted by WCIES and European Parliament. 

In October 2019 I was awarded an Erasmus+ national prize for good quality practice in the Erasmus+ programme. At the moment, I also collaborate with the Italian Erasmus+ N.A. for general projects assessment. I coordinate the area of adult lifelong learning for the national project “The Youth City Factory” - Con i bambini. Some essays in French on innovative teaching have been accepted by an editor to be published on a methodological handbook for teachers.

 School. The Romagnoli school is a secondary lower school, with a population of around 900 students. It is located in GELA, in the South of Italy. It is an area which lacks in economic resources but it can count on a well trained staff. More in the presentation by Tiziana. Link.
