Learning outcomes of the course :  
Certica will help you :
- analyze your teaching practice and its effects on your learners;
- define and communicate learning goals that are adapted to the needs of each of your learners;
- organize and implement learning activities that are motivating, binding, meaningful and effective;
- develop assessment strategies that regularly/effectively inform your learners about their progress.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
It is essential you to be active as a trainer during Certica since you will be asked to carry out activities with your own groups of learners.
In addition, you will have to attend a training (two days) in another institution. This training has to be related to the topics of Certica. You will be asked to develop a critical analysis that will be part of your portfolio.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
CerTICa's methodology is adapted to your needs and your professional context. This training program, based on active pedagogy, will give you the opportunity to be really active in your learning process (scenario, case analysis, problem-based-learning, group work,..).

You will benefit from an individual follow-up by a tutor (each participant is visited two times in his/her own professional environment), in order to facilitate the transfer to your professional practice. Moreover, with your tutor's help, you will have to implement pedagogic innovations in your own groups of learners.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
Mixt setting, combining face-to-face and eLearning : · Face-to- face sessions (4x2 days from January to June);
· eLearning activities (at least one activity between each block of two face-to-face days)
Recommended or required readings :  
///
Assessment methods and criteria :  
This training provides the participants with individual follow-up in order to ensure an effective transfer into their professional practice. Our team will meet each participant twice in his/her professional context. Based on dialogue, this formative assessment provides a valuable opportunity for dialogue and an exchange that reflects on your teaching methods and their real impact on your teaching.
The CerTICca certificate is awarded on the basis of a teaching portfolio in which participants show evidence of their progress regarding the Certica competences and of their professional development as a whole. The portfolio has to be presented and defended orally in front of a jury.
The course will be considered either "passed" or "failed" according to the quality of the assessed portfolio

Organizational remarks :  
The face-to-face sessions are organized in blocks of 2 days modules:
(2 days in January) - I design a training that is consistent, meaningful and that facilitates the learning process of my learners.
(2 days in February) - I teach learning activities that are motivating, binding, meaningful and effective and adapted to my groups of students.
(2 days in March) - I organize, I effectively make use of ICT and Web 2.0 tools to ensure my learners to achieve the objectives of the training. I respect the learning paths of my learners.
(2 days in April or May) - I assess my learners by using some material that increases their motivation and that is useful in their learning process. - I effectively make use of ICT and Web 2.0 tools in order to assess my learners.
(Optional activities) - I conduct a reflexive and a critical analysis on the benefits of the training and I share them with the all group. - By using of ICT, I manage student-centered projects. - Workshop (exchange around the portfolio).
(in June) Evaluation: based on a portfolio in which participants show evidence of their progress.
