1. Kooli haldamine

The CroCooS - Prevent dropout! project was developed in the framework of the EC proposal "Implementation of the European strategic objectives in education and training" under the Lifelong Learning Programme to support innovative policy solutions to reduce and prevent early leaving from education and training (ELET). The main aim of the CroCooS project, which was implement between 2014 and 17, was to contribute to the development of an institutional early warning system (EWS) for preventing early leaving from education and training. It also tested its applicability with national pilots focusing on contextual factors affecting the evaluation.
Regional needs addressed included: sensitizing the staff of each school on the need to address the problem of dropout; actively involving teachers in monitoring students and working with them; developing better relationships between students and teachers; strengthening pupils' sense of belonging to the class and the school; developing relationships of trust by being supportive and ensuring a safe school climate.

Koolijuhtimise Euroopa võrgustik (EPNoSL – European Policy Network on School Leadership) on välja töötanud töövahendi, mille abil saab analüüsida, leida ja valida esmatähtsaid tegevusi eesmärgiga edendada võrdsust ja õppimist soosivat koolijuhtimist. See on suunatud poliitikakujundajatele, haridusasutustele, teadlastele ja juhtimiskoolitajatele. Koolijuhtimise töövahend on loodud selleks, et analüüsida, millist mõju avaldavad koolijuhtimise strateegiad ja programmid koolijuhtide ja koolide üldisele võimekusele tegeleda tõhusalt ja järjepidevalt võrdsuse ning õppimisega seotud probleemidega oma koolis. See sisaldab palju kasulikke materjale, videoid, juhtumiuuringuid ja töövahendeid koolijuhtimise eri tahkude jaoks.

Projekti MiCREATE eesmärk on toetada erinevate lapsrändajate rühmade kaasamist, rakendades nende lõimimisel hariduse ja poliitika tasandil lapsekeskset lähenemisviisi. Tulenevalt vajadusest vaadata üle olemasolevad lõimimispoliitikad, on uurimisprojekti eesmärk uurida põhjalikult lapsrändajate kaasaegseid lõimumisprotsesse, et suurendada nende tegevusvõimekust, osalust ja heaolu.

Projekti „Raising the Achievement of All Learners in Inclusive Education“ (RA; „Kõigi õppijate õpiedukuse parandamine kaasava hariduse kaudu“) eesmärk oli esitleda tõendeid tulemuslike tavade kohta saavutustaseme tõstmisel ning koolide ja kogukondade suutlikkuse suurendamisel, et kaasata ja toetada kõiki õppijaid.

Projektis „Supporting Inclusive School Leadership“ (SISL; „Kaasava koolijuhtimise toetamine“) uuriti, kuidas edendada kaasamist toetavat juhtimist kooli tasandil, ning pakuti toetavaid töövahendeid. Projektis leiti, et kaasavat haridust toetava juhtimise eesmärk on saavutada kõigi õppijate, sealhulgas tõrjutuse suhtes kõige haavatavamate laste täielik osalemine mõtestatud õpivõimalustes. Lisaks seati sihiks õppijate kõrged saavutused ja heaolu.

The toolkit developed as part of the valorisation of the findings by the Reducing Early School Leaving in Europe (RESL.eu) research project aims to support practitioners working with youth in identifying and monitoring students and schools in need of greater care and support. It is primarily focused on the situation of those young people who are at risk of school disengagement and early school leaving. The toolkit is primarily dedicated to school staff: principals, teachers, educators, pedagogical counsellors, class tutors and school psychologists. However, it might be also helpful for other educational specialists working in education policies and in alternative learning pathways.

The ‘Complex Instruction Programme’ (CIP) provides equal chances for children from different social backgrounds. The method seeks to change children roles and responsibilities in active learning. CIP is based on four principles: (1) education involves a varied level of non-routine, open-end tasks to mobilise students of different abilities; (2) responsibility is shared, learners are responsible for their personal work while the group is responsible for individual achievements; (3) work is evaluated against set norms and roles; (4) hierarchy within the group - the status of the students is mobile. In addition, the school uses other innovative practices, such as a reading programme for the elementary grades where students regularly read aloud to each other in pairs, and then exchange their thoughts, and the ‘learning between generations’ programme where children draw their family trees and label each member with a special skill they have.
