The IES Rodriguez Moñino is located in Badajoz, near the city center. The Rodriguez Moñino was one of the first High Schools in Badajoz. The high school has an intense relationship with parents, other High Schools an Official Institutions. It has about 900 students and 70 teachers. Its educational offer includes four groups of each course of ESO where a Bilingual program in English is being carried out. The educational offer also includes Bachelor of Humanities and Social Sciences, Bachelor of Science and Technology and Vocational Training of Image and Sound.

All our classes are modern and technologically well equipped with smart boards and Internet connection.

The school is currently developing a program of bilingualism in the four courses of ESO, being a pioneer and reference in Bilingual Education in our region. The school has also being granted with Programs such as Portfolio of European Languages or Comenius programs and has participated in the Socrates programs for many years. Other programs are, in addition being carried out in the school such as the Escuela de Investigación e Innovación and  Redes project.

French Portuguese and English are taught in our school, therefore is of paramount importance to set up new methodologies in language learning and teaching. In the particular case of English teaching the bilingual section is developing methodologies based on CLIL and AICLE.

In our school, we adopt learner centred education for classes we teach. We aim to grow individuals who have self-confidence, care for humanity, can take responsibility for their learning and can think creatively and reflectively. Students explore themselves with the help of our dedicated education professionals and teachers. Through the education programs we apply, students are prepared for the future as eager researchers, communicative, hardworking, open minded and considerate individuals who are able to think interrogatively and offer solutions to the problems they face.

Our school has already participated in Comenius and Erasmus + programs. It has a staff of teachers with experience in this type of projects eager to continue working for the benefit of the acculturation of our students and in good educational practices.

For the realization of this new project we have the active participation of the department of foreign languages, teachers of the departments of science and other experts in information and communication technologies who know active methods of teaching and a range of digital tools.

All teachers at our school are highly motivated and enthusiastic about developing their teaching aspects to study and share innovative and creative teaching ideas, to improve teaching skills. They are curious about the European history,cultures, learning European education systems, and current issues of European schools' lives.

 

Participants are eager to strengthen national excellence by expanding and intensifying cooperation with European schools, teachers and students on the subject of Sport, Healthy life and Wellbeing. Both teachers and students have willingness to share their experience within the school, locally, individually and in groups by organizing and participating in transnational meetings,workshops,surveys, cultural events.

The school has already participated as a partner in a project dealing with environment. This new project complements the previous one as the protection of the environment is one of the transversal topics we will deal with in European Olympics.

However as the next step, after having so much experience, this project is now focused on developing the values of Sport and the Olympic Games which eventually will aim at  absorbing good practices of humanitarian values in the world.
