Wikimedia Serbia received a new accreditation for the professional development program
Accredited seminars for teachers are organized by Wikimedia Serbia within the educational program. This type of seminar represents the part of compulsory professional development of teachers that is prescribed in the Republic of Serbia by the Law on the basis of the education system. Through these seminars, teachers collect credits that are necessary for obtaining and renewing a license for teachers. Seminars are promoted and monitored by the Institute for Improvement of Education, founded by the Government of the Republic of Serbia. According to Serbian law, in 5 years each teacher needs to collect 120 points for compulsory professional development (24 points per year). Our seminar is one-day long, lasts 8 hours, and has 8 points. Seminars are limited to 30 participants.
Our seminar titled "Application of online wiki tools in teaching and learning" this June got a new accreditation by the Institute for Improvement of Education (State Institute for professional development of the teachers) for a period of three school years: 2022/2023, 2023/24 and 2024/2025. The aim of the seminar is to bring together free educational tools and platforms for learning and raise the competencies of teachers for their use in teaching.
