1.1 Kultura in vzdušje v šoli

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cilj projekta MiCREATE (angl. Migrant Children and Communities in a Transforming Europe) je spodbujanje vključevanje raznolikih skupin otrok migrantov s pristopom, ki pri vključevanju otrok migrantov na ravni izobraževanja in politik v središče postavlja otroka. Raziskovalni projekt, ki izhaja iz potrebe po ponovnem pregledu obstoječih politik vključevanja, si je kot cilj zadal celovito preučiti sodobne procese vključevanja otrok migrantov, da bi okrepili njihovo sposobnost odločanja, sodelovanje in blaginjo.

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 toolkit developed as part of the valorisation of the findings by the Reducing Early School Leaving in Europe (RESL.eu) research project aims to support practitioners working with youth in identifying and monitoring students and schools in need of greater care and support. It is primarily focused on the situation of those young people who are at risk of school disengagement and early school leaving. The toolkit is primarily dedicated to school staff: principals, teachers, educators, pedagogical counsellors, class tutors and school psychologists. However, it might be also helpful for other educational specialists working in education policies and in alternative learning pathways.

This project was set up more than 10 years ago to reintegrate students who refused to go to school. Since 2007, the programme has focused solely on students who suffer from school phobia, anxiety disorders or depression. The programme is unique in Austria and is publicly funded.

The CARMA Toolkit fosters collaborative learning approaches in schools, based on non-formal learning (NFL) techniques, for learners who have been identified as being at risk of early school leaving and/or low achievement. The Toolkit provides practical resources for classroom practices and to transform school cultures to improve student motivation and participation. Involvement of the wider community in supporting collaborative learning is also encouraged. A Competence Assessment Model supports teachers to assess learners’ collaborative skills. A teacher’s diary to track implementation and learner progress accompanies the Toolkit.. The Toolkit is available in full and short versions in 8 languages English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch and Turkish.
