Towards more inclusive education
Educators and the professional field note that (future) teachers are still often insufficiently equipped to work with diversity in the education of pupils aged 0-22. We want to train educational professionals who can attune to the educational and developmental needs of children and youngsters and who are increasingly able to realize an inclusive learning environment.
Objective
In collaboration with educators and researchers from universities of applied sciences and practitioners, we want to start a pilot with the aim of training pedagogically competent education professionals. These professionals need to have a keen eye for children and youngsters from vulnerable target groups, and adds to a more inclusive educational setting.
Results
- The educational professionals have insight into the world of children and youngsters with whom they work;
- The educational professionals know how to 'be and remain in contact' with students and which needs they have;
- The educational professionals have learned to work together in an inter professional manner;
- The educational professionals know the values that influence their professional behaviour, have an open and questioning attitude and feel they are well equipped in a pedagogical and didactic way;
- A reassessment has been made on the teaching methodology and pedagogy in the university, including the vision on student guidance;
- The inclusive philosophy is put forward by all trainers.
