Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and school shutdown in Portugal, the Boa Água school has initiated a number of new pedagogies to support student learning, including mixed commission, interactive groups and dialogic gatherings. These new methods had been introduced as part of the INCLUD-ED project, which the school joined in 2017. The school encouraged parents’ regular presence and volunteer support in classrooms, and introducednew teaching methods tosupport student learning through dialogue and exploration of identity. The new teaching methods and the emphasis on relationships and mutual support within the school community were also key to effective remote learning during school shut-down.

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.

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.

Pristop šole k poučevanju in učenju temelji na doseganju odličnosti v izobraževanju in uspešnosti vseh učencev. Šola je oblikovala stimulativni učni načrt, katerega namen je seznaniti učence šole z učnim procesom, v katerega so vključeni (metazaznavanje), in izboljšati njihovo samopodobo. Zagotavljanje specializiranega poučevanja na določenih področjih (znanost, glasba, umetnost, telesna vzgoja) je ključni element v tem procesu, tako kot razvoj poučevanja matematike med šolanjem (za šestošolce). Poučevanje filozofije za vse učence je prav tako bistveni element pri razvoju razmišljanja in odpornosti učencev ter njihove samozavesti. Inovacije na področju učnih načrtov se razvijajo na pobudo šole v sodelovanju z njenimi partnerji na zvezni ravni iz osnovne šole Whitmore Park Primary School. Z vsemi člani osebja, upravnim organom, učenci in starši potekajo redna posvetovanja, vsi navedeni sodelujejo v procesu priprave učnih načrtov, šola pa tesno sodeluje s partnerji na ravni skupnosti pri razvoju širših učnih dejavnosti.

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. 

Nedvomno je v številnih primerih izostajanja od pouka in zgodnje opustitve šolanja potrebno zdravstveno, psihološko, socialno, izobraževalno in pravno posredovanje, vendar raziskave tudi jasno kažejo, da imajo lahko v vseh primerih odločilen vpliv šole in učitelji. Ta dokument vsebuje kontrolni seznam za samoocenjevanje šol, 59 podrobnih priporočil za izboljšanje prisotnosti pri pouku, sodelovanja učencev in šolske kulture, pa tudi predloge dogovorov o vedenju ter primere vprašalnikov za učitelje in starše. Priporočeni ukrepi so usmerjeni zlasti v ciljno skupino učiteljev, ravnateljev in staršev. Dokument je prevod priročnika, ki so ga pripravili Erna Nairz-Wirth, Klaus Feldmann in Barbara Diexer (2012): Handlungsempfehlungen für Lehrende, Schulleitung und Eltern zur erfolgreichen Prävention von Schulabsentismus und Schulabbruch.

Manchester Communication Academy (MCA) works to improve outcomes for children, families and the community. This secondary academy opened in 2010 to serve one of the most disadvantaged inner-city neighbourhoods in England. From the outset, the academy’s sponsor, a large employer in the city, wanted the school to help to contribute to a vibrant and sustainable neighbourhood, and committed to addressing the many inter-related economic, social and physical challenges which characterise the neighbourhood. This mission has directly shaped the academy programme, which places equal importance on ‘teaching and learning’ and ‘social investment’. The school’s social investment department is a highly distinctive feature of its overall strategy for addressing the impacts of disadvantage on young people’s education and wider life chances.

Mreža za preprečevanje osipa zagotavlja vrsto storitev in strokovnega znanja. Vsak projekt je edinstven, usmerjen v posebne ciljne skupine in sam pridobi potrebna sredstva. Poudarek je na preprečevanju zgodnjega opuščanja šolanja in ponovni vključitvi učencev, ki so opustili šolanje. Osrednja služba za pomoč uporabnikom zagotavlja podporo učencem in šolam. Pogosto odsotni učenci so napoteni na center za usmerjanje učencev, ki je del šolske mreže, v katero spada šola. Center za usmerjanje učencev po potrebi zaprosi za pomoč osrednjo službo za pomoč uporabnikom, ki lahko prek mreže različnih organizacij ponudi prilagojene podporne ukrepe in dejavnosti učencem, ki bi lahko ali so opustili šolanje.

Cilj poročila z naslovom „Nordic Projects to Combat School Dropout“ (Nordijski projekti za boj proti osipu v šolah) je izboljšati pobude za mlade in jih navdihovati ter poglobiti stike med akterji in organizacijami v nordijski regiji.
The Nordic Web Resource on Dropout from Upper Secondary Education (Nordijski spletni vir podatkov o osipu v višjih srednjih šolah) je bil projekt, ki ga je naročil Nordijski svet ministrov, izvajal pa ga je Nordijski center za dobro počutje v obdobju 2012–2015. Cilj projekta je bil zbrati dobre primere pobud, namenjenih povečanju deleža mladih v nordijski regiji, ki zaključijo višje srednješolsko izobraževanje.
Na nordijskem spletnem portalu je bilo predstavljenih veliko različnih uspešnih projektov iz nordijskih držav. Pobude so bile zunanje ocenjene in so pokazale pozitivne rezultate. Nekatere dejavnosti so bile posebej izbrane zaradi njihovega inovativnega značaja ali njihove vrednosti kot vir navdiha.
Kljub birokratskim in kulturnim razlikam med nordijskimi državami je stanje, kar zadeva mlade, pri katerih obstaja tveganje opustitve šolanja, neverjetno podobno. Razlike so včasih večje med občinami in šolami kot med državami. S spoznavanjem uspešnih pobud v nordijskih državah je mogoče najti navdih in orodja za izboljšanje dela pri zagotavljanju pomoči vsem mladim, da zaključijo višje srednješolsko izobraževanje.
V tej publikaciji je opisanih deset projektov, ki so bili predstavljeni na nordijskem portalu za dobre prakse. Nekateri od teh projektov so bili zaključeni, drugi pa se še izvajajo. Nekatere dejavnosti so bile vključene v običajno delo.
