Insight and experience in the inclusive schooling of SCHOOL STUDENTS with disabilities and /or behavioural difficulties in different countries
Start date: Jun 27, 2016, End date: May 26, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The education of persons with disabilities/special needs/challenging behaviou is legally obligatory in accordance with UN Resolution 15. The implementation of optimum welfare and progress of students, not only in inclusive classes or special units, is very different depending on each country. It is necessary for the teachers in this area of work to add practical experience to university education and exchange across Europe.The basic idea of inclusion is that virtually every individual student should get their individual requirements in accordance with learning opportunities that meet his educational goal. A basic task of the teacher is to develop a precise and fully individualised educational package for each child, be it through curriculum, through Indvidual Educational Plans or through Individual Behaviour Plans. This task is particularly important in the area of students disabilities and/or challenging behaviours. Here, the various schools have their own unique observations, materials and strategies, experience and exchanged through this project. The implementation of these teaching plans varies across Europe and a better knowledge creates new perspectives and allows the participants to a more effective teaching.An interdisciplinary teaching in this is needed, as is the clear inclusion of mental, linguistic, socio-cultural, physical and motor skills of the basic and life affirming strategies, to be put into action and implementation by the teachers. This concerns the further development of our teachers in the individualized, differentiated, and cooperative tasks of teaching and learning.The educational use of ICT in the classroom, as well as the disability-specific use of computers and other technical aids to help with the development of communication, social interaction and social imagination (e.g. in autism) is to be presented to each other, to be discussed and improved.A total of 8 participating members from Conwy Portfolio PRU (teachers and teaching assistants) will help to ensure that the results of this project can be inserted in all our school subjects and from the Year 3 through to Year 11.We understand "Job Shadowing" in as much as smaller lessons, delivered with a co-worker in direct consultation with the local classroom teachers, to form vital parts of teaching exchange. Similarities and differences in the educational system will become clear and can be discussed afterwards, in the form of a "collective consultation". These will represent the special objectives of the students, their integration in the classroom and the collected impressions discussed and arrived at through these results are to be incorporated in the various school development plans.A paper about eTwinning and seminars at various interested Conwy schools are planned.The long-term benefit will be that educational concepts are exchanged, which will directly improve the progress of pupils at all participating establishments.
