INCLUDE ME
This project focuses on the problem of social exclusion in terms of basic skills lack and, therefore, its main goal is inclusion and cooperation at school, in the respect of the individuality of a person. In order to reach this aim we will employ new and innovative strategies ( use of new software such as Prezi, Moodle…) and methods of teaching cooperatively and inclusively. This project involves 5 schools from Italy, Greece, France, Germany and Poland and it will engage learners aged between 14-20. As the project group, we discussed and defined 4 issues promoting school success:
1-lack of social inclusion;
2-lack of basic skills;
3-lack of parental support;
4-lack of socio-economical support.
The needs analysis has been carried out in six schools where the observation of the teachers while working and their use of basic surveys has made the identification of those four main obstacles possible. For example, in Italian schools “Lack of social inclusion and basic skills ” of the students are seen as the main issue which prevent students from reaching an academic success and entering the business world. Each school has different good practices in the curricula. These good practices will be observed, discussed and followed by the teachers and shared with the partners after evaluation. Overcoming the four obstacles listed above is the basic aim of this project. We will use new strategies to get real results and solutions for students with the above-mentioned problems. Unfortunately, the old model of education does not always work with the majority of students. The old model was designed to weed out the “smart” students to send to college from the ones who would work. That way of selecting is no longer valid. Modern student oriented education is necessary regardless the career they will eventually choose. Schools need to do more than just select students according to their cognitive abilities. Before creating this project we agreed with our partners on the six new strategies to use. Every partner will apply to these methods in their school environment, observe and evaluate the outcomes. During the meeting these outcomes will be discussed by all partners and will be exchanged. By the end of the project, six strategies will have been applied and evaluated. According to the observation and results, the partners will continue to use these strategies and methods in their schools. This project must be carried out transnationally because its topic is relevant to all European countries, as in the whole EU the immigration rate is high. Besides, it aims at transferring good practices. As teachers we need to compare different educational systems to work more effectively and our students need to know different cultures and improve their language and ICT skills.
