1.1 Kultura in vzdušje v šoli

Metodologija InScool je zasnovana tako, da fleksibilno usmerja šole na začetku poti k vključevanju, pri čemer izboljšuje osebne in akademske rezultate vseh otrok in mladih s poudarkom na dostopu do kakovostnega in ustreznega izobraževanja ter sodelovanju v njem.

Cilj projekta Raising the Achievement of All Learners in Inclusive Education (RA) je bil zagotoviti dokaze o učinkovitih ukrepih za izboljševanje dosežkov ter krepitvi zmogljivosti šol in skupnosti za vključevanje in podporo vsem učencem.

Ta projekt je namenjen podpori razvoju socialno-čustvenih učnih spretnosti otrok, starih 11 do 14 let, in spodbujanju vzajemne podpore za reševanje in omejevanje ustrahovanja. Programi za socialno-čustvene učne spretnosti izboljšujejo učenčeve socialne, čustvene in akademske spretnosti, ki vključujejo bolj prosocialno vedenje, pozitiven odnos do samega sebe in do drugih ter nižje stopnje čustvene stiske. Sistemi vzajemne podpore zmanjšujejo negativni učinek ustrahovanja na žrtve, za katere postane prijavljanje ustrahovanja bolj sprejemljivo. Projekt se ravna po vsešolskem pristopu, ki vključuje mlade, osebje, starše in širšo skupnost. Zato ta program pomeni odstopanje od dvodimenzionalnega pogleda na ustrahovanje kot odnos med žrtvijo in ustrahovalcem. Preučuje namreč socialno in skupinsko dinamiko v šolskem okolju ali okolju, v katerem otroci preživljajo prosti čas, ter obravnava vrsto dejavnikov, ki prispevajo k ustrahovanju. Mreža ENABLE je usposobila skupino ambasadorjev v vsaki sodelujoči državi, ki dajejo informacije in navodila šolam ali organizacijam, ki želijo izvajati program.

"Our School - My Future" was an ESL project initiated within the framework of the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships for School Education. It aims to support cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices between schools from different countries across Europe.
Part of the problem of ESL is attributed to lack of support and guidance, disengagement from schooling, and secondary-level curricula which too often do not offer enough options for varied courses, alternative teaching pedagogies, experiential and other hands-on learning opportunities or sufficient flexibility and support.
The framework for this project was designed to focus mainly on in-school factors influencing ESL, such as teaching methods and curricular issues, positive/negative school climate, and the parents’ role as a contributing factor to ESL.
A distance education programme, “Promotion of healthy lifestyles and development of the students’ social skills through physical education and environmental activities” was offered to teachers from five partner countries. Some 65 teachers from Greece, Poland, Romania, Spain, and Turkey had the opportunity to participate in this training programme, along with six academics who are also members of the Hellenic Academy of Physical Education.

Projekt Supporting Inclusive School Leadership (SISL) je preučeval načine spodbujanja vključujočega vodenja na ravni šole in zagotovil podporna orodja. Projekt je upošteval, da je cilj vodenja za vključujoče izobraževanje doseči polno udeležbo pri smiselnih učnih priložnostih, dobre rezultate in dobro počutje vseh učencev, vključno s tistimi, ki so najbolj izpostavljeni izključenosti.

The school has been developing innovative practices of informal learning for six years (since 2011). The main aims of these innovative approaches were to improve the educational level of pupils and school performance, to promote their social competences and sensitivity to the surrounding community and to enhance cooperation between teachers. As the first step of the informal learning approach, the school aimed to create informal learning environments by renovating the school yard and make it suitable for the learning purposes. As a second step, the school designed various learning approaches connected to the yard and broader school community (e.g., focusing on environmental education, natural sciences, reading). In this process the school cooperated with external stakeholders (scientists, artists, craftworkers, museums, etc.).
