Abstract | The teaching community plays an important role in promoting Lifelong Learning. In european level teachers’ competences have been described and efforts been made to encourage their active participation in Lifelong Learning (LLL). It is widely recognized that LLL culture should start at an early age and, thus school and teachers are to promote it to students. In a holistic perspective school is a central point for promoting LLL not only within its gates, but also a link between LLL and the community. Examining the role of teachers in a LLL school, as well as experiences and practices of greek teachers regarding notions like continuing professional development, mentor, collaborative learning, self directed learning provide us insight about them as lifelong learners and placing LLL in a strategic framework. |
