Steve Jobs said: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do."We all know that this is true, also in education. But organising motivational lessons for classes that are more and more diverse is a challenge. On the one hand, we know that it is important to relate to the environment in which young people grow up. We seem to be quite ok at managing this during extracurricular activities and projects outside the classroom, such as DreamDay, Entrepreneurs in the class, junior enterprises, etc... On the other hand, we still notice that it is hard to motivate students WITHIN the classroom. And still, we think that the answer to this problem, will probably - at least partially - also be found in the same corner. We want to find ways so that the current diversity can have a catalysing effect to come to flexible, motivating and high quality education. Our focal points for this course 'Diversity in Education' are: - trying to understand diversity in all its facets;- acquiring knowledge, skills and attitudes to deal more adequately with diversity and passing this on to teachers/ educators/ students' counsellors;- finding out where our school is at when it comes to diversity policy and designing a plan with priorities, possible solutions and feasible challenges etc. We hope that this course will steer us in the right direction. We have already collected quite some information on the subject (through in-service training e.g. masterclass motivating learning guidance; through books e.g. 'The 5 roles of the teacher', internal and external inquiries, interviews with focus groups,...), but now, we want to draw up a clear action plan and start a working group. We think that a 6-day, intense course with workshops, immersion activities and an international environment can help us make choices. On top of that, we will be able to get more colleagues on board when we inform them on what we have learned after this week and what international vision is behind it. The two participants, the headmaster and a teacher in technical classes and Se-n-Se-schooling (EQF 4), have been looking how to push 'students' care and diversity' onto the school's agenda for quite some time now. After the course, they can both inform on several school levels what they have learned: one can inform everyone dealing with policy, and the other one can inform some of the existing working groups (such as the Linpilcare team, the Se-n-Se team, ...). Afterwards, we will start a new working group that can draw up and carry out an action plan, that can continuously inform and involve other colleagues (through meetings and pedagogical study days) and that keeps in touch with the international participants in order to have an external touchstone. The course will, in fact, also provide ways to conduct regularly a self-evaluation. This makes us believe that Eekhoutcentrum (the training organisation) will help us build strong foundations for our working group so that it can work self-directing. Finally, we want to summarize our pedagogical project and the vision behind our choice with the following quote: "Teach me and I will forget - Show me and I will learn - Involve me and I will understand" (http://www.school-teacher-student-motivation-resources-courses.com/freemotivationalposters.html).
