	The ORBIT project illustrates pedagogical principles through concrete lesson plans and ideas. The materials are hands-on, they use actual lesson activities as building blocks, and embed theory within them. ORBIT makes this particular approach – a hallmark of effective teacher education – more accessible and tangible. There is also a significant focus on the use of ICT within mathematics and science teaching, offering pedagogical support where it is especially needed. ORBIT promotes interactive teaching in schools – teaching that supports active learning.		The ORBIT project illustrates pedagogical principles through concrete lesson plans and ideas.
