Need: to rethink the region’s educational priorities to ensure that wellbeing and SEL are at the core of all teaching methods, actions, and decisions.
Problem: The pandemic was the 21st century’s most disruptive moment for education. Schools are facing unprecedented socioemotional (stress, burnout, mental health) and pedagogical (learning losses, lack of motivation, outdated practices) challenges
“Edumoción” develops pedagogical practices and improves educator/student socioemotional well-being:
Content platform: Educators can access innovative courses that address differing needs. To date we have over 25 courses of varying themes, lengths and with resources to support teaching in the classroom.
Online learning community: A network facilitated by Coschool where educators engage, support each other and exchange education content. We achieve this through tutorials, communities of practice, support circles and events.
Coschool combines these two elements to create one month “Educaminos”; thematic, cohort based courses. Each cohort completes 3 to 4 Edumini (1 hour micro-learning) courses, with 4 community activities integrated.
In 2022, 8710 educators participated in Edumoción courses of which respectively, 86%, 70% and 68% increased their knowledge, self-efficacy and wellbeing. User engagement is measured by Lightbulb, an AI tool that measures facial emotions.
Success:
Regional reach - Edumoción has benefited 15k+ educators from 12 countries which reflects its adaptability, and provides enriching experiences to learn from different contexts.
The learning experience - we offer diverse options for educators to participate in learning paths that respond to their needs and interests. The graduation rate is 75% (Cohort based) and 63% (Asynchronous) and satisfaction with course content is 86%.
Goals:
Traction with governments - Adoption by governments, through teaching training programs to ensure effective and widespread use, especially across the public sector.
Becoming a hub for Spanish content on SEL and CE: we are collaborating with researchers and practitioners from across the region to create a one-stop-shop for educators and schools.
Individual educators can create a free Edumoción account to access resources as well as purchase courses. Educators can also register for cohort based learning routes allowing them to connect with other educators.
Organisations (educational institutions, multilaterals etc.) can contact Coschool to organise a meeting through which we understand their needs and propose different learning routes.
