This initial Online Training on School-to-School Mentoring is dedicated to the MenSI School Coordinators who will be part of the network of Mentor and Mentee schools to pilot a range of approaches to whole school mentoring.
The course aims to provide participants with a practical introduction to School-to-School Mentoring to support the mainstreaming of innovative pedagogical practice involving digital technologies in teaching and learning.
During the course, participants will learn about multiple aspects of mentoring and peer networking, in theory, and receive advice, guidelines and suggestions from experts and peers about how to organise activities within a cluster including 1 Mentor and 4 Mentee Schools.

The course is specifically targeted at the teachers of the 24 Mentor Schools participating in the MenSI pilot. The aim is to provide participants with a practical introduction to School-to-School Mentoring in preparation for a follow-up co-construction workshop that will guide Mentor Schools in designing their own mentoring operational plan. Admission is therefore on invitation only for teachers and school leaders selected by the 24 Mentor schools. It is recommended that a minimum of 2 representatives per school attend the course.
In order to receive the certificate, the participation in the quizzes will count for 100%. The overall passing grade is 75%
The final deadline to complete all activities is Wednesday, 13 October, 23:59 CEST.

The Mentoring for School Improvement (MenSI) project is a 28-month Coordination and Support Action (November 2020 – February 2023) funded by the European Commission H2020 programme. The project will carry out a pan-European investigation into how different approaches to mentoring can support the mainstreaming of innovative digital teaching practices in primary and secondary schools. It builds on the outcomes and lessons learnt from the earlier EU-FP7 Living Schools Lab project (2012-2014), which provided support to school clusters via ‘regional hubs', and will also leverage the network of learning labs that are part of the current European Schoolnet Future Classroom Lab initiative.
Mentoring for School Improvement (MenSI) has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101004633.
