Training in digital competence in education level B1 for 90 digital advisors (ADIX)

It was agreed in the Sectorial Education Conference, held on 6 June 2022 and presided by Pilar Alegria, the Spanish Minister of Education and Professional Training, the objective of achieving credentials in digital competence for at least 80% of the 700,000 non-university teachers in Spanish territories before 2024. This was the pledge made by Spain to the European Commission and which is reflected in Component 19 of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and supported by the exceptional instrument of temporary recovery (Next Generation EU) which guarantees a coordinated European response to counter the economic and social effects of the pandemic.

The ultimate goal of this initiative is to develop pupils' digital competence by means of improving teachers' digital competence, as only a digitally competent teaching staff will be able to orient pupils in the development of said competence.

Escuela21 has been called upon by the Ministry of Culture, Education and Professional Training and Universities, to carry out the following activities:

• Design a 90 hour-long online training programme to award B1 level in the referred framework of digital competence in teaching.
• Elaborate materials, activities, evaluation tools and criteria.
• Provide B1 level digital competence tutoring for 90 digital transformation advisors, who will turn into future tutors for teaching staff in their Autonomous Communities, in line with a cascaded teacher training model.
