SOFT SKILLS: SOFT SKILLS FOR HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATION

Based on previous experiences in providing continuous mentoring support to kindergartens and schools and establishing professional learning communities, Open Academy Step by Step, alongside our colleagues from Slovenia, Estonia, and Slovakia, started a new project aimed at strengthening the soft skills of leaders of Teacher Support Learning Groups (TSLGs).

The aims of the project are to:

• Strengthen the soft leadership skills for more effective leadership of TSLGs through activities of professional development
• Raise awareness of the importance of soft skills of TSLGs leaders for successful group facilitation and higher quality of education

The project aims to develop State of the Art on training on soft skills in ECEC, a framework for training on soft skills in ECEC, training of trainers on soft skills in ECEC, training for TSLG leaders in partner kindergartens as well as on a national level, international professional learning community of TSLG leaders, and toolbox containing materials to support TSLG leaders building and reflecting soft skills for TSLG facilitation.
