Strategic development for school modernization

#1.1 SELFIE / Self-reflection on effective learning by encouraging the use of innovative educational technologies
#1.2 School modernization plan
With this program we aim to accompany schools in the process of identifying how technologies support or can support the processes of designing, teaching, learning and assessing students in school.
At the same time, through SELFIE, we create the infrastructure to design and operationalize a long-term strategic plan for the development of high-quality (digital) education at the school level, tailored to the real needs of their stakeholders.
Each school's plan will be aligned with the European Commission's strategy for Education which supports the effort to improve and modernise education systems in Europe.

The team will objectively analyze, in an anonymized way and through evaluation, the level of digitization at which they are, with the aim of setting priorities for increasing the quality of education, putting the pupil at the center of all actions taken.
The team will set out its short, medium and long-term school modernization strategy, aimed at narrowing the existing gap between pupils' skills and the demand for schooling and academics, as well as the hyper-digitalized labour market.
SELFIE representatives in schools will become more accountable and willing to contribute to meeting local training needs aligned to the CEE strategy in order to make the skilled workforce competitive in productivity, quality and innovation.
The team will set up community activation initiatives to build partnerships aimed at developing digital and soft skills, upskilling and reskilling, and empowering lifelong learning.
The team will have the capacity to apply SELFIE, on a regular basis, to constantly measure the impact of strategic initiatives implemented at school level.
The team will contribute to mapping local digitization needs and national priorities for improving and modernizing the education system that promotes equity, school inclusion and social cohesion.

What is SELFIE?
What is SELFIE?
SELFIE (Self-reflection on Effective Learning by Fostering the use of Innovative Educational technologies) is a tool designed to help schools integrate digital technologies into their teaching, learning and assessment processes. SELFIE has a strong research base and has been developed following the model of the European Commission's framework for promoting learning in the digital age in educational institutions.
SELFIE collects, in an anonymous way, the views of students, teachers and school management on how technology is used in their school. This is done using short questions and statements and a simple rating from 1 to 5. This takes about 20 minutes. Based on this information, the tool generates a report - a snapshot ("SELFIE" :-)) of schools' strengths and weaknesses in their use of technology.
SELFIE is available for primary, secondary, secondary and vocational schools in Europe and beyond in over 30 languages. It can be used by any school - not just those with advanced levels of infrastructure, equipment and technology use.
This tool does NOT measure or compare user knowledge or skills, does NOT evaluate educational establishments, and does NOT set standards.
SELFIE History
SELFIE History
SELFIE is an initiative of the European Commission, funded by the Erasmus programme. It can be used free of charge by any school.
The tool was developed with a team of experts from schools, ministries of education and research institutes in Europe. Partner institutions include the European Training Foundation, the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP) and UNESCO's Institute for Information Technologies in Education.
From the outset, school management, teachers and students have been involved in the creation and testing of SELFIE:

From the outset, school management, teachers and students have been involved in the creation and testing of SELFIE:
- 5,000 teachers and students contributed from the early stages of the design of this tool
- 67,000 people from 650 schools across Europe took part in the pilot test
- SELFIE has been tested in primary schools to ensure that it can be understood by younger pupils.
SELFIE benefits
SELFIE benefits
- SELFIE involves the whole school community - school leaders, teachers and pupils - in a 360-degree process covering many areas of school practice.
- Because each school is unique, the tool can be customised. Your school can select and add questions and statements to suit its needs.
- SELFIE allows all participants to answer questions that correspond to their experience as students, teachers or school leaders.
- SELFIE is free of charge. Responses are anonymised and data is secure.
- You can take the assessment from a computer, tablet or smartphone.
- Upon completion of SELFIE, each school receives a personalised interactive report that provides both in-depth data and brief information on strengths and weaknesses.

These 6 elements of a school are considered relevant to the modernization of education through digital pedagogy.
This conceptual model can form the basis for collective reflection, creative dialogue and strategic planning. It can also be applied to collect examples of good practices and initiate school visits between schools in the cluster and then compare these practices and systematize collaboration.
A school is a collaborative environment where social activities undertaken by students, teachers and other participants take place; and their activities shape their character and transform their culture, values, practices and other specific characteristics. This approach impacts on methodological choices at school level. The difference can be made by the practices implemented and not by the beliefs or paradigms with which people operate.
