● So far, there has been training for 32 teachers.
At first, they tried to implement LEAPS all over the school but it was a great chaos. Now, they are
implementing it in some grades and by the end of next course it will be implemented in all grades.
The length and the subjects involved in the projects depend on the team of teachers of every grade.
GLOBAL GOAL: To motivate students and enhance their competences by coordinating subjects,
contextualizing activities and making them more meaningful.
TEACHER COORDINATION: Every team of teachers decide on the project to be carried out. They
meet every Tuesday afternoon for 2 hours.
PROBLEMS they face:
It requires the teachers’ mindset shifting!
Adapting projects to curriculum.
