The activity of the Institute is, to a great extent, reflected in “iTeach”, a flagship programme started in 2009, through which the Institute has attracted and mobilized human and financial resources to develop a reference point for the community of education practitioners and specialists in the education systems of Romania and Moldova. This programme relies on two platforms – iTeach.ro and Academia-Online.ro – currently gathering over 36,000 teachers from K-12 and higher education.
The iTeach programme aims to increase the quality and efficiency of teaching by providing theoretical support, disseminating good practices and local experiences, and promoting valuable solutions, systems and services for education. A number of online courses are also available on the platform, developed by (or in partnership with) companies, NGOs, and state institutions such as: Intel, TEHNE – Centre for Innovation in Education, Ministry of Education Romania – Institute of Educational Sciences, House of the Teaching Staff (Bacau county), University of Bucharest – Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences – Teacher Training Department. » More on iTeach.ro
