MENTEP first partners’ meeting
Brussels, 14 April 2015
MENTEP main components and milestones
Patricia Wastiau
European Schoolnet

2. MENTEP will:
Develop an online tool (common core prototype based on existing similar tools) for teachers to self-assess progress in technology-enhanced teaching (TET) competence
Test the tool’s impact on TET competence and peer learning in field trials:
Provide policy-makers with a national and EU picture of teachers’ TET competence, its evolution over a school year and training needs

5. MENTEP literature review
Purpose:
Identify existing (online) (self-) assessment tools of the Technology-enhanced teaching competence and learn from it
Clarify the dimensions/areas to be covered by the technology-enhanced teaching competence
Understand the conditions for teachers online self-assessment to be implemented properly
Deadline: May 2015 (to fuel discussion at the next partners’ meeting in June)
Writers: Scientific Committee experts Janet Looney and Diana Laurillard (+ EUN)
Dissemination: written document + 1st MOOC (produced by end of June 2015)

6. MENTEP common core prototype tool (TET-SAT)
Guided by the literature review
Inspired by the existing tools (Norway, Estonia, Greece, Spain)
Define the main competence areas: safe and responsible use? digital production? Technology-enhanced pedagogy? etc.
Define the competence sub-areas within each main area
Decide to which extent the operational competence, attitude and opinion has to be covered by/integrated into the tool
Guidance from external experts (Scientific Committee + others)
Deadline: end of October 2015 (for translation and technical develop.)

7. TET-SAT/MENTEP common core prototype tool: the constraints
A self-assessment approach (a political choice)
The tool must define different levels for each sub area of competence
These levels must correspond to scores (even if transparent for the users)
It must be informative/formative to the users (no numbered scale), and user-friendly
Closed type of questions (tick boxes) because:
a multiple language tool
a ‘sustainable’ tool
a reasonably ‘quick to do’ test

8. MENTEP national field trials coordinators
3 training meetings (Brussels)
Understanding the sampling strategy and protocol (October 2015)
Progress and issues with the sampling being processed (January 2016)
Possible visits on site (IRVAPP, EUN) if needed
Feed-back after the pre test in a few schools ; final preparation before launching the field trials in September 2016
2nd MOOC on why, when and how to use sampling of/in schools
