Introduction to the teacher’s training guide : pre-service and in-service teacher training courses

Abstract

This document serves as an introduction to the teacher training guide developed under the European Union Comenius 2.1 project "MIND 2: Critical Thinking for Successful Future Career in EU: Practical Approach." It outlines the foundational framework for preparing both pre-service and in-service teachers to integrate critical thinking skills into career education across all educational levels, from pre-school to upper secondary education. The guide details the necessary competencies, knowledge, skills, and attitudes required by teachers to implement the program effectively, emphasizing practical application, reflective practice, self-evaluation, and inclusion of students with special educational needs.
