Theodossia Kapetanidou

I was born in Athens and went to Chaidari secondary high school. I graduated from the Mathematics Department of National Kapodistrian University of Athens in 1980 and ever after I have worked as a mathematics teacher. The last 22 years I've been teaching Maths in a Public Lyceum in Aigaleo. I attended the Intersectional and Interuniversity PostGraduate Studies Programme in Methology and Didactics in Maths, at the Athens University and took my specialization diploma in 2007.
I have proficiency diploma in English since 1978 and before I get my appointment to work in public schools, I taught English and Maths of all classes. In 2011, I finished intercultural studies in New Technologies, B level, and in 2011 attended a six month’s seminar in "Helping Teachers in their work in New Secondary School" held by the psychology department of Panteion School of Civil Affairs.
I've also been the coordinator teacher in Maths in Panhellenic Entering University Exams and have been a deputy headmaster in the 6th Luceum of Aigaleo since 2011. I have been funded by the EU to carry out a Comenius Multilateral Partnership, for the years 2013-15, and hope that the impact of such a cooperation with eight other European countries is going to add a great and valuable experience on me, my collegues and our pupils concerning teaching and learning Methods and Procedures.
I'm interested and challenged by everything that promotes cooperation, interculturalism, tolerance to diversity and I’m against any prejudicial and discriminative behavior of all kinds. I'm in favor of sharing and disseminating knowledge by every means of communication and in all levels. Learning by doing, respect for the Other, the Different, volunteering and understanding people’s needs, working for the general welfare and participating in actions the may change our world to the better, consist some of my principles, aims and desires.
The motto I like best, respect and follow is: “United in Diversity in every level of social life”/
