A „Supporting Inclusive School Leadership (SISL)” projekt résztvevői azt vizsgálták, hogyan segíthetik elő az iskolai vezetőségek inkluzivitásának növelését, és ehhez eszközöket is biztosítottak. A projekt értelmezési keretei szerint az minősül befogadó iskolavezetésnek, amelynek célja minden – beleértve a kirekesztésnek leginkább kitett –  tanuló számára biztosítani a tartalmas tanulási lehetőségekben való teljes körű részvételt, a tanulói teljesítmény javítását, valamint a jóllétet. 

A „Raising the Achievement of All Learners in Inclusive Education (RA)” projekt célja az volt, hogy konkrét bizonyítékokat gyűjtsön az iskolai teljesítmény javítását célzó hatékony gyakorlatokról, és képessé tegye az iskolákat és a helyi közösségeket valamennyi tanuló befogadására és támogatására.

Guiding Cities joins policy makers and education stakeholders to map policy and guidance and create coherent policy to respond to the complex needs in the fight against ESL.

The project aimed to:
• Analyse guidance actions in 4 countries through country-based focus groups including stakeholders in education and guidance.
• Develop a Guiding Cities Model and Checklist mapping different possible actions, actors community needs relative to guidance and lifelong learning.
• Establish and manage Working Groups and a survey of best practices (involving at least 40 stakeholders).
• Publish online the GCities Model and links to resources and practices for each type of action and/or each target group. The GCities tools will be available in 6 languages (EN, ES, CAT, IT, EL, RO).
• Test the GCities Model and Checklist-benchmarking tools with at least 40 communities or organisations.
• Improve professional development of local service providers and school guidance practitioners.

The Joaquim Ruyra Elementary School is located in a disadvantaged suburban district of Barcelona. In the 2016-2017 school year, 92% students were immigrants representing 28 different nationalities (including Pakistan, Morocco, Georgia, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, the Philippines, China, Bangladesh, Senegal, and the USA) or from minority background (Romani). The school has a 40% mobility rate.  

National and international press have referred to the school as the miracle school as it had achieved academic outcomes above the average in the Catalan standardised tests, outperforming elite schools in the Catalonia region.

All classes in the school feature group work 40% to 60% of the time. The groups mix students of different abilities, genders and nationalities.  The small groups are designed to ensure that no one is left out, and students are encouraged to participate actively.  Each group is facilitated by an adult (e.g. a classroom assistants, a parent).  Psychologists and special education teachers may also work in the classrooms, and they support volunteer parents, teachers and the students.  The extra support and student interaction are considered as essential for supporting and reinforcing children’s learning.
