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

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.

In 2011/2012, the Dutch School Inspectorate concluded that student results in the Tjotter school were too low. The school used to have a negative pedagogical climate, and suffered from a loss of trust between school and parents. Eventually, the school staff lost confidence in the former school leader and requested the school board to appoint a new leader. With an arrival of the current school leader four years ago, innovative processes started. A common view of education and teacher mutual learning was established, in addition to the culture of continuous improvement.

Key interventions:

• improvement of teachers’ pedagogical and didactical skills: team schooling with subsequent follow up and monitoring within the learning community of teachers, individual coaching and change of personnel
• creating student portfolios to make students the owners of their learning process while students were also encouraged to participate in its formation
• other approaches being used at school: positive behaviour support; encouraging student participation and (direct) feedback on student’s results; ‘Teach like a Champion’; and HGW (Action Oriented Approach) for student differentiation.

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.
