Here one will present an overview of how the participation on the Mobility Professional
Development Courses / or Training Event will contribute towards the European Added Value
of the school’s strategy and operation. The main point in the application form will be the
European Strategy for developing the school/organization, where the applicants will have to
motivate their needs and benefits of sending staff to training abroad. The
director/chairman/chairwoman will ask grant that will cover the needs of qualification -
according the numbers of the people that will be sent to attend the courses. There is no limit
of the requested grant, but it has to be realistic. The fields on the application form will guide

Cervantes Training is a Teacher Training organisation offering in-service training to teachers

and individuals working in the education sector from all over Europe. Cervantes Training has
designed an in-service teacher training programme for those professionals of education who
want to add some European dimension in their careers. Cervantes Training is an ideal
partner for European schools & colleges applying for Erasmus+ funding, as we offer an
unusually wide variety of teacher development courses, from Spanish as a Second Language,
E/LE, Spanish and technology, Spanish and games and theatre, Innovative methods and
creativity in the classroom using ICT, The Digital Classroom, Coaching to reduce early school
leaving and European Project Planning in order to make your school more international, all
together under the same location.
The team of trainers is international and highly qualified and experienced in the field of
Courses for Continuing Education for staff. All our training courses have a strong European
focus in the terms of the content matter. Moreover these activities are an opportunity for
networking opportunities for teachers from all over Europe. Teachers come together to
exchange ideas, compare practices and introduce new ideas to the school and National
Education curricula. The description of all our Teacher Training courses highlight the
objectives, aims and benefits of these courses, and could complement your European
Development Plan.
At this stage Mobility Projects for School Education Staff will not be required to use
eTwinning in connection to your mobility project but you can explain that the course will
provide you with info about eTwinning and use it to add a European dimension in your
organization using TwinSpace between schools across Europe and fostering cooperative work
in the classroom. Cervantes Training will recommend the use of etwinning as a tool for
participants to enter the platform to look for partners and start up European liasions or that
you will use tools from the platform with your students.
Which are the Learning Outcomes from the participation on the CPD courses at
Cervantes Training?
The descriptions of all our Teacher Training courses highlight the objectives, aims, benefits
and learning outcomes of these courses. Preparation, implementation of mobility activities
and follow‐up information are provided on each of Cervantes Training Teacher Training
courses descriptions.
C. Impact and Dissemination (30 Points)
The quality of measures for evaluating the outcomes of the mobility project
The potential impact of the project:

- On individual participants
- On their schools during and after the mobility programme
- How will the outcome of the activity be disseminated by the participating staff to all
the school after the activity.
What is a Dissemination Plan?
In order to ensure and maximise the impact of these activities on professional development
of all staff, schools should make sure that after the mobility the competences acquired by
their staff are well disseminated across the school and integrated into the school teaching
practice. The school should present a dissemination plan for all staff mobility activities: For
example, who is going to benefit from the activity on the return of the staff member? Will
information and activities be distributed on the school intranet or class blogs, by Networking
Staff activities, through internal In‐Service Training sessions in the School, or within School
Regional Associations?
Selection of Teachers / Staff
The sending school is responsible for selecting the staff undertaking mobility activities. The
selection process must be fair, transparent, coherent and documented and shall be made
available to all parties involved. The sending school should define the selection procedure,
i.e. how staff will be invited to apply,the documentation that the applicants need to submit
and how it will be treated. The school should define the criteria to be considered in the
selection process. General criteria might be: motivation, clear goals for the mobility,
willingness to share the experience upon return. Sharing or discussing selection criteria and
their rationale with Cervantes Training may facilitate preparation of the activities.
Budget: How much funds are available for each Mobility Activity Abroad? For each
participant?

cooperation between Programme and Partner‐Country institutions in the field of VET
and in higher education, by increasing the attractiveness of European higher
education institutions and supporting the EU's external action, including its
development objectives, through the promotion of mobility and cooperation between
Programme and Partner‐Country, higher education institutions and targeted
capacity‐building in Partner Countries;
- Improve the teaching and learning of languages and to promote the EU's broad
linguistic diversity and intercultural awareness.

and multilingualism in all fields of education and training, using innovative and
student‐centred pedagogical approaches and developing appropriate assessment and
certification methods, based on learning outcomes;
- Enhancing Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) uptake in
teaching and learning, through the support of learning and access to open
educational resources (OER) in the education and training fields, supporting
ICT‐based teaching and assessment practices and by promoting the transparency of
rights and obligations of users and producers of digitized content;
- Promoting stronger coherence between different EU and national
transparency and recognition tools, so as to ensure that skills and qualifications
can be easily recognised across borders;
- Supporting the adjustment of funding and investment in education and
training to new needs and the development of improved funding approaches
for skills development, in particular through partnerships and cost‐sharing;
stimulating debates on efficient and sustainable investment in education and training
at European and national level involving all the relevant stakeholders.

strengthening the professional profile of the teaching professions;
Further Information: Conditions of Participating Staff - The Selection Process
The sending school is responsible for selecting the staff undertaking mobility activities. The
selection process must be fair, transparent, coherent and documented and shall be made
available to all parties involved. The sending school should define the selection procedure,

impact of the project:
• - on individual participants and on the participating organisations during and

after the project lifetime
• - outside the organisations and individuals directly participating in the project,
at local, regional, national and/or European levels
! The appropriateness and quality of measures aimed at disseminating the outcomes of
the project within and outside the participating organisations
To be considered for funding, proposals must score at least 60 points. Furthermore,

they must score at
least half of the maximum points in each of the categories of award criteria
mentioned above (i.e.
minimum 15 points for the categories "relevance of the project" and "impact and
dissemination"; 20
points for the category "quality of the project design and implementation").

MOST IMPORTANT:
1. It is not anymore just teacher training course application, like it was in last funding
season. Now you must make a development project for your school or for consortium. So, if
only one teacher is going to take part in this project from school, it is not good. So, 3-10 is
good amount, depending about size of your school and about the project
2. If there are more than on school who wants to make one application, you must apply as
consortium. (Municipality, owner of schools, etc.) Then PIC code must be consortium code.
Maximum scores in evaluation is 100. If your school gets under 60 points, your school will
not get the grant! Practically with 60-70 points you do not get any grant…not even with 80
or 90 points.
In 2018 round in some countries you had to get more than 95 points to get the grant!!!
Especially Turkey, Romania, Italy… So make this application carefully and with good care!
Making a good KA1 application takes time! You can save it meanwhile and continue.
