David Ruz Velasco

I studied English Philology at the University of Granada and I have been teaching English in Secondary education for more than 20 years. For some years I also taught Spanish at the University of Cardiff (Wales, UK). I have been the headteacher of La Inmaculada School and now I am the director of WIN School of Languages, an organization with more than 1000 students and 50 members of staff. I am also the European Projects and Bilingual Plan coordinator for the institution Fundación Santos Mártires, a group of 15 schools in the city of Córdoba. I am a fiction writer too and an expert evaluator in Erasmus+ projects for the Spanish National Agency.

From 2020 I am the European Project Manager for my organization.

OUR INSTITUTION

Fundación Santos Mártires de Córdoba is an educational organization that comprises 15 schools in Córdoba, Spain.

Our institution has schools and training centres with more than 4000 students –from pre-primary to High Education and Vocational Education and Training- and 400 teachers and members of staff. 

Our WIN School of Languages and EDD Sports Schools complement the highly innovative educational centres with activities like international exchanges and cooperation through sport practices. More than 1500 of our students participate actively in different projects and events throughout the school year.

WE ARE PART OF THIS PROJECT BECAUSE WE WANT TO…

We are a very dynamic network of schools and we have been working hard on how to adapt our institutions to the digital transformation of education. Due to COVID, we have had to accelerate this process and create new ways of teaching, evaluating and coordinating our staff. We believe this is an opportunity to learn lessons from this crisis and we hope we can offer our students and families betters and more adequate answers in this changing reality. 

E-DUCATION: TEACHING AND LEARNING AFTER 2020 tries to answer questions and pose new challenges from an European perspective. We plan to develop digital tools to help schools communities to evaluate themselves and then deliver sfe guidelines for quality education. We will create tools to teach and check the process in a more effective way in hybrid classrooms. Also, we aim to provide a new mobile system to help teachers to be more coordinated among themselves and so be able to track their students´ progress better and quicker. 

For those reasons and for the wonderful opportunity to work hand in hand with our great partners in Portugal and Italy, we are extremely happy to be part of this project.
