LOOP - Empowering Teachers

LOOP stands for empowering teachers personal, professional and social continuous development through innovative peer-induction programmes. The LOOP is a policy experimentation project that aims to contribute to the shift towards a comprehensive teaching profession policy that spans all stages of their professional careers namely by: 1. Structuring a peer-learning induction programme based on mentoring, to support the initiation of the teaching profession and adapting to a new workplace culture. 2. Creating a mentors’ programme for the development of competences to guide and support new teachers during the implementation of the induction programme. 3. Testing and validating the induction and mentoring programmes in the schools of the LOOP network. 4. Preparing policy recommendations for the integration of induction and mentoring programmes in the National policies and frameworks of teachers’ continuous professional development.
