The initiative is based on collaborative learning, where teachers learn from and with each other with the support of a supervisor. The aim is also to strengthen the collaborative learning and contribute to a change in in-service training and teaching culture in the participating schools. Teachers must meet scientifically substantiated methods and proven methods that can be used to develop pupils' literacy skills in all subjects taught.
