2.- Directed work (40% grade):

Development of a group proposal of teaching application throughout the term focused on subjects of the specialty (small group between 3 and 5 students). The outline of the work will be hosted in Moodle and will focus on the development of an innovation proposal contextualized in curricular content, cross-cutting or interdisciplinary topics proposed by teachers and students or focused on an SDG linked to Secondary Education according to the specialty.
