Teaching network of Alto Tâmega and Barroso

A school network may include schools of different sizes and formats, such as community schools, technical schools, bilingual schools or schools specialising in certain areas of knowledge. These schools usually follow a curriculum and a common teaching methodology, established by the organisation that coordinates the network. A school network can aim to provide quality and affordable education for a large number of students, as well as ensure the standardisation and quality of the teaching offered in all its schools. In addition, a school network can provide more opportunities for professional development for teachers, as well as facilitate the implementation of innovative educational programmes and the exchange of knowledge and experience between schools that are part of the network.
