5.1. Tværfaglige teams

Dette dokument har til formål at gennemgå dokumentationen for det potentiale, som fler- og tværfaglige teams har for at spille en central rolle i forebyggelsen af skolefrafald. Som led i udviklingen af en strategi for fler- eller tværfaglige teams lægges der stor vægt på de betingelser, der er nødvendige og fremmende for deres effektivitet, snarere end på en deterministisk formodning om deres uundgåelige effektivitet. Rapporten understreger behovet for at yde stærk strategisk vejledning til teamene om vigtige spørgsmål, som de skal engagere sig i, såsom støtte til mental sundhed, alternativer til suspension, opsøgende arbejde over for marginaliserede familier, løsning af konflikter med lærere og færdigheder i mangfoldighedsuddannelse, færdigheder i forebyggelse af mobning, fremme af et positivt skoleklima, engagement i forældrefærdigheder og fokus på børns sproglige udvikling osv.

For at imødegå tidligt skolefrafald (ESL), har Jump@school projektet udviklet og afprøvet en innovativ interventionsmodel og bedømt dens virkning på sårbare elevers indstilling til skolen. Det havde deltagelse af ti partnere fra seks lande, fire skoler og 480 elever i alderen 14 – 17 år.

The project Try it again, Sam! is an inter-institutional and integrated project that addresses children’s social and educational needs. It is composed of two main programmes: Integrated Tutelage (directed at students who dropped out of school) and Dropout Prevention (directed at students with temporary and reversible educational difficulties to prevent school dropout). Those involved– teachers, volunteers, school principals, social workers, psychologists – are all convinced that drop-out is the result of a long and insidious process triggered from common learning and relational difficulties. Therefore, timely responses to students with common difficulties in social relationships and/or learning activities is an effective way to prevent social students’ problems, which are much more difficult to address once they are established.
Try it Again, Sam! experiments with a new model of prevention-action training regarding failure in the transition from primary to secondary schools in Turin. It fosters the educational success of all students and combats school dropout. It is based on an integrative process between the acacemic and the extra-curricular, creating conditions for constant dialogue between them, and ensures learning of foundation skills in the first cycles of education. The project works within a network of non-profit associations and parishes. Schools and other actors - through joint collaboration - can thus foster learning processes that take into account the story of each child, giving them a space to listen and express themselves, develop their self-confidence, support their academic success, and combat early school leaving. Dropout Prevention is an offshoot of an earlier programme, Integrated Tutelage.

Projektet ”Understøttende Inkluderende Skoleledelse” (SISL) undersøgte, hvordan man kan fremme inkluderende skoleledelse på skoleniveau og stille hjælpemidler til rådighed. Projektet så nærmere på, hvordan den rette ledelse vedrørende inkluderende undervisning kan resultere i alle elevers og studerendes fulde deltagelse i meningsfulde læringsmuligheder, give dem gode resultater og trivsel for alle, herunder også de der er mest udsatte for eksklusion.
