Bainistíocht scoile

Bhí sé de rún ag an tionscadal 'Gnóthachtáil de chuid gach aon Fhoghlaimeoir a Ardú san Oideachas Cuimsitheach' (RA) fianaise a chur ar fáil den chleachtas éifeachtach i dtaca le gnóthachtáil a ardú agus inniúlacht na scoile agus an phobail a thógáil chun tacú le gach aon fhoghlaimeoir agus chun iad a ghlacadh isteach

In the school year 2015/16 the Schulzentrum Ybbs (a school center consisting of three vocational upper secondary schools) introduced a concept called IndY, which involves that 20% of the teaching time is intended for individualized learning. IndY aims at improving students’ expertise, motivation, self-responsibility, self-management, collaborative skills, emotional intelligence and learning methods.

The project focuses on the role of school leadership in actively structuring the educational process for learning and equity.

The project builds on the achievements of the Comenius Network “European Policy Network on School Leadership (EPNoSL, 2011-2014)”.

The project involved two intense job shadowing activities in Vienna and Berlin. Good practice and obstacles were identified though feedback forms, and solidified in collaborative analysis and evaluation.

Tools to support leadership action were developed and tested by the two school principals in everyday school life, and analysed through questionnaires/surveys and subsequently evaluated and summed up in bilateral groups.

The learning hub was implemented at the TGM (an upper-level secondary technical college) as a school experiment in the school year 2016/17. It has been implemented in the school’s Information Technology (IT) Department in two of the four classes in the first year (i.e. grade 9).

In the learning hub students study self-regulated 20 hours per week. Of these 20 hours, 9 hours relate to general education subjects (German, English and Mathematics) and 11 hours involve vocational education subjects (Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Media Technology, Network Technology). The other 6 school subjects (Geography, History and Political Education, Natural Sciences, Religion, Sports, Computer Workshop), which encompass 13 hours per week, are still taught by using traditional methods of teaching.

Is é cuspóir an tionscadail MiCREATE ná ionchuimsiú grúpaí éagsúla páistí imirceacha a chur chun cinn trí ghlacadh le cur chuige páistelárnach maidir le hionchuimsiú páistí imireacha ag leibhéal oideachais agus beartais. Is é aidhm an tionscadail taighde seo, a eascraíonn ón ngá athshúil a thabhairt ar na beartais reatha maidir leis an ionchuimsiú, imscrúdú cuimsitheach a dhéanamh ar phróisis ionchuimsithe páistí imirceacha an lae inniu ar mhaithe le cur lena gcumas gníomhaíochta, rannpháirtíocht, agus sláinte.

The European Policy Network on School Leadership- EPNoSL has developed a tool to reflect upon, identify challenges and prioritize areas for policy action to support and enhance school leadership for equity and learning. It addresses policy makers, school authorities, school actors, researchers and leadership training institutes. The School Leadership Toolkit is designed to support analyses of the ways different school leadership policies and programs interplay and influence the overall capacity of school leaders and their schools to effectively and persistently address equity and learning challenges in their schools. It contains a range of useful materials, videos, case studies and toolsets on different aspects of school leadership.

D'fhiosraigh an tionscadal Tacaíocht do Cheannaireacht Ionchuimsitheach ar Scoil (SISL) an dóigh le ceannaireacht ionchuimsitheach ar leibhéal na scoile a chur chun tosaigh agus chuir sé uirlisí cabhracha ar fáil. Ghlac an tionscadal san áireamh gurb é cuspóir na ceannaireachta don oideachas ionchumsitheach ná rannpháirtíocht iomlán maidir le deiseanna foghlama nithiúla, baint amach ar ardchaighdeán agus folláine do gach aon fhoghlaimeoir, lena n-áirítear iad atá i mbaol den eisiamh, a bhaint amach.
