Inn2Diversity

Innovative tools towards diversity in classroom context

Project description

The INN2Diversity project focuses on preparing teachers for the new diverse European classroom, by strengthening the relationship with the students, through non-formal educational strategies. Deriving from this, it also aims at diminishing the application of suspension – as the suspension rates are predictive of school drop-out.

Expected outcomes of the project

The project foresees the following outcomes:

  •  Developing a  new methodology – mentoring – as a system-level approach to empower teachers with managing diversity in classroom strategies and tools to better engage students
  • To develop, transfer and implement through transnational cooperation innovative training curricula on diversity and disruptive classroom behaviors management
  • Create a profile of the mentors’ coordinator and mentor’s profile – important in mapping the necessary skills in dealing with disruptive behaviors in the classroom
  • Overall professional development of the teachers, to make them better prepared for their job and more satisfied with it
