The document “Open schooling roadmaps” provides practical guidelines/recommendations for schools interested in implementing an open schooling transformation process according to the COSMOS approach. It is organized in stages—accordingly to the main concepts of COSMOS (Core ORganisational Structure for Promoting Open Schooling or Open Schooling team, CORPOS; Community of Practice, CoP; Socio-Scientific Inquiry-Based Learning, SSIBL; and Teacher Professional Development, TPD)—offering different suggestions and examples (based on practice and real cases) on how each school (with a specific context and characteristics) can orientate in the implementation of such an open schooling process.
This document provides a structured framework for integrating the COSMOS approach across varied educational settings. It includes three critical supporting resources—three roadmaps—that extend the COSMOS framework’s applicability, detailing its alignment with curriculum design, its implementation in classroom settings, and its broader impact on school-community collaboration. Each roadmap proposes a different way of exploring this document—a unique perspective—tailored to guide a different stakeholder—teachers, school leaders, or policymakers—in making informed decisions on adopting and sustaining open schooling practices within their institutions.
