Introduction

• The introduction has the following aims:

  
  

  - providing self-reflection on your expectations for the course;
  - presenting the core concepts of the project;

  1. What are your expectations for this course? 

  2. What motivates you to learn about/teach DCE? 

  3. What kind of initiatives concerning DCE topics would you find important to have as a (future) teacher? 

  4. How do you think that teachers can collaborate in DCE?
