Dyslexia is a difficulty that affects the ability to read and write correctly and fluently. Reading and writing are considered such simple and automatic acts that it is difficult to understand the efforts of a dyslexic person. In Italy dyslexia isn’t known very much, although it concerns about 4% of the school's population. Very often dyslexia is not recognized or diagnosed only belatedly. In recent years, however, the concern for the problem has grown considerably and schools, parents and professionals started to collaborate. This project aims to train professionals convinced of the importance of their work even when learning seems an insurmountable problem. Learning disorders, especially dyslexia, require that teachers, educators and training professionals activate resources and activities to ensure that dyslexic students get the opportunity to participate in instruction and training course as well. Ensuring educational achievement to students with dyslexia is a challenge for professionals. This achievement is possible thanks to the new scientific knowledge. The joint work of teachers, doctors and therapists, is an indispensable tool in order to achieve this goal. Objectives of the project: - Train professionals able to offer a quality service within the association and in other areas where they carry out their professional activity; - Broaden its activities, promoting a nationally and internationally qualified educational offer on the specific learning disorders. - Offer to users of the courses (teachers and aspiring teachers educators and trainers) the opportunity to develop their professional skills and career in an European dimension. Participants: 15 member of Centro Iniziativa Democratica Insegnanti Project activities: -Introductory courses on the subject of specific learning disorders, with particular regard to dyslexia -Staff mobility: 15 days training course in England -Reinforce the skills acquired by the participants and development of individual projects The training activities were implemented in the classroom, through an interactive teaching centered on the needs of the participants, and sharing of experiences as well. Through the simulation of cases, participants experienced, as students and teachers, methodologies and compensatory tools to enhance the learning of students with dyslexia. The project includes, back from the mobility, a consolidation of the skills acquired: each participant is planning a project on educational activity. Results and impact envisaged and finally the potential longer term benefits: The project stems from the request of some operators, with experience related to Specific Learning Disorders, to deepen their knowledge of dyslexia and, in particular, methodologies for the teaching and learning of the mother tongue and the English language. The knowledge and skills acquired by the participants and contacts with other professionals and organizations in the sector, acquired through the experience of mobility abroad, through the use of eTwinning and access to other virtual contexts, will enable them to start new projects and to promote their professional collaboration
