Description:

The eSL+ project will identify and empower a selected group of eSafety Champions in order to a) map current needs and key priorities in this area of work, b) build towards a comprehensive variety of online learning materials designed by teachers for teachers, and c) mobilize a wide community of teachers, heads of schools, ICT coordinators and other school actors, through an ongoing exchange of expertise and best practice experience. 

The eSL+ project will help to grow the current eSafety Label ecosystem into a vibrant online community of practice, supporting the continuous professional development of school staff, in particular ICT coordinators and teachers. Thus, eSL+ project partners will create an eSL+ ambassador scheme, by selecting a group of 20 teachers and ICT coordinators from the project partner countries. Ambassadors will be coached online and offline during the first year of the project, resulting in a range of new (online) learning materials, including easy-to-use lesson plans, assignments, fact sheets and checklist, all of which will be made available in the eSafety Label ecosystem. The eSL+ project outcomes will support school leaders and teachers to deal with increasingly complex school and classroom realities in a digital age, by adopting innovative methods and tools, while promoting and strengthening leadership in regards to safe and responsible use of technology.
