How The Project Works
The USP School Meeting offers courses in two main formats: dissemination and updating. Both are validated by the São Paulo State Department of Education, meaning that the training can be used to improve teaching practice and enrich professional curricula.
The programming is organized into five major areas of knowledge:
- Education;
- Humanities;
- Languages;
- Mathematics;
- Natural Sciences.
With a workload of 30 hours, the courses are taught by USP professors and include high-quality didactic materials, as well as practical and reflective activities.
List of Available Courses
- How to Be an Antiracist Educator (Education);
- Teaching and Learning with Museum Collections (Languages);
- Quantum Physics in Experiments and Concepts (Natural Sciences);
- Teaching Indigenous Histories and Cultures (Humanities);
- Playful Practices and Approaches for Teaching Mathematics (Mathematics);
- Video Games and Teaching History (Humanities);
- Creative Processes and Perceptual Experiences in Sciences (Natural Sciences);
- African Traditional Games: A Possible Path to Thinking About African History and Culture (Humanities).
These are just a few examples of the rich programming of the project. The courses are designed to meet the most urgent demands of basic education and contribute to the improvement of pedagogical practices.
