Soft Skills for Strong Teachers and Positive Schools

Name: Soft Skills for Strong Teachers and Positive Schools
Price: 400 EUR

Why this is Erasmus+ eligible

Structured, multi-day programme (5 days) with a pre-defined schedule and learning outcomes — not a passive lecture format.

Built around interaction: participants engage directly with the trainer and with peers from other countries throughout the course.

Transnational by design — open to participants travelling from outside the host country, a core requirement of Erasmus+ mobility funding.

Overview

The “Soft Skills for Strong Teachers” course aims to equip educators with essential soft skills to communicate effectively, strengthen their leadership abilities, and better support students throughout their educational journey. The course offers an interactive learning experience, giving participants the chance to explore tools and strategies that strengthen their teaching skills, while also creating opportunities for experience-sharing and collaboration among participants.

Through collaborative activities, participants exchange cultural and pedagogical knowledge with teachers from other countries — building a stronger, more connected professional network alongside their new skills.

Methodology

Interactive, Not Lecture-Based

Each topic (communication, leadership, student support) is explored through interactive exercises, role-plays and group discussion — short theoretical framing only.

Real-Scenario Simulations

Role-playing exercises let you practise handling real classroom-management scenarios before you try them at school.

Personal Action Plan

The course ends with a personal action plan, built through reflective practice and self-evaluation, for continued professional development.

What you'll take home

Communicate more effectively with students — active listening, constructive feedback, and confident verbal and non-verbal communication.

Lead and motivate your classroom — apply leadership and motivation strategies that create a positive, engaged learning environment.

Tailor your support to diverse student profiles, using strategies matched to individual needs.

Manage challenging classroom situations with confidence, using tested behaviour-management and de-escalation techniques.

Reflect on and continuously improve your own teaching practice through structured self-evaluation.

Certificate & assessment

This is a Certificate of Attendance, not an exam-based qualification — recognition comes from completing the structured programme, not from passing a test. The real, lasting value is in the competencies listed above under What you'll take home.

Erasmus Mobility Academy

Certificate of Attendance

Soft Skills for Strong Teachers and Positive Schools · 5 days · 25 hrs

+ Europass Mobility document

Type your name above — clearly marked "SAMPLE" in the PDF, not an official document.

The real certificate is signed by your trainer and EMA's authorised signatory. Your own signature isn't on this document — it's captured separately, on the Europass Mobility document.

Need to verify a real certificate? Check it online using the serial number and participant's full name, or contact us directly — [email protected], OID E10304561.

Attendance

Tracked using a sign-in sheet with one signature per participant per day (paper or digital). This record is used to issue your Certificate of Attendance and Europass Mobility document. View sign-in sheet (PDF)

Output

Every participant leaves with a completed Dissemination & School Impact Plan — a step-by-step template for applying the course back at your school (see below).

Feedback

An end-of-course evaluation form is sent to every participant after the course ends — a chance to reflect on what you've learned and how you'll apply it, and it helps us keep improving the course for future participants.

Your paperwork

Keep your travel tickets, boarding passes and (if you used green travel) any related receipts — your school or National Agency may ask for these for their own Erasmus+ reporting.

For your school / proposal

School impact

After completing this Teacher Training & Classroom Management course, the participating staff member can transfer outcomes directly to their school: a short briefing for colleagues sharing the key takeaways, applying relevant tools or strategies from the programme in their own role, and inclusion of the course materials in the school's professional development resources — turning one person's mobility into a wider institutional gain that supports the school's European Development Plan. Use the Dissemination & School Impact Plan below to fill in your own — it saves as you go and can generate a one-page summary for your coordinator too.
