The 2nd Transnational and Training Meeting took place in February 2018 in Portugal. During the 2nd Transnational Meeting, which preceded the Training Meeting, the comprehensive list of needs and challenges based on the needs’ analysis in each country, which was formed during the first phase of the project, was discussed to determine which challenges and needs are going to be addressed by the EDUCATE packages. Also, the design principles and the structure of the EDUCATE packages were co-determined. The aim of the 2nd Training event was to train participants on issues of curriculum development since such expertise was needed to effectively carry out the tasks involved in the second phase of the project. In particular, participants worked on developing parts of the EDUCATE training materials for teachers and teacher educators, drawing on the comprehensive list of teachers' needs and challenges, the decisions taken during the 2nd Transnational Meeting, as well as the knowledge gained and the skills developed during this event. |

In July 2018, the 3rd Transnational and Training Meeting of the EDUCATE project took place in Ireland. This 3rd Transnational Meeting focused on presenting and discussing the draft version of the EDUCATE packages (modules) for teachers and teacher educators; making decisions on how to handle the final modifications to be suggested once the third training event was over; and finalizing and codifying decisions regarding the third phase of the project. The 3rd Training Meeting, which preceded the transnational meeting, had the form of a week-long summer school. During the morning sessions, mathematics lessons involving cognitively demanding tasks were taught to primary school students by Dr. Seán Delaney and were observed by Irish and Cypriots teachers. In the afternoon sessions, segments of the lesson were identified and discussed in a video-club setting lead by the Cypriot team. In particular, the modules generated above were used to engage the teachers in discussing challenges included in working with all students around challenging tasks. As such, the afternoon sessions of the summer school functioned as an initial form of pilot testing the modules. |

The 4th Transnational and Training Meeting of the EDUCATE project took place in Greece, in February 2019. The 4th Transnational Meeting was a critical point in the project because it was about half-way through the implementation of the EDUCATE packages. Specifically, in this meeting, decisions regarding the third and the fourth phase of the project were finalized and codified. Also, the teacher-educator logs and teacher reflection cards were considered to determine if any additional modifications needed to be made. Another important task during this meeting was to finalize the observational rubric, focusing on issues of mathematically challenging tasks and differentiation. The 4th Training event, which was attached to the 4th Transnational meeting, had two goals. First, to provide training on using the finalized version of the observational rubric to code videotaped lessons. Second, to provide training on analyzing the project data both from quantitative and qualitative respect. This training was necessary because, after the meeting, participants had to analyze a large amount of data collected during the third phase of the project. |
