European Agency Project "Raising the Achievement of All Learners in Inclusive Education"
Mar, 22/04/2014
Following a one-year project on Raising Achievement for all Learners (RA4AL), the European Agency on Special Needs and Inclusive Education will now carry out a further project in this field, running until 2016.
This work will build on the findings and recommendations of the RA4AL work, focusing in particular on the themes of pedagogical approaches for all, personalisation and inclusive leadership. The project will also take account of the potential of ICT in education and link to the European Commission ‘Opening Up Education’ initiative that aims to ‘allow All individuals to learn, Anywhere, Anytime, through Any device, with the support of Anyone’ (Communication from the Commission on Opening Up Education, 2013).
A wide range of stakeholders will be involved in the work, which will support action research in schools through the development of professional learning communities. The school-based research will explore the above themes and ways to meet the needs – and raise the achievement – of all learners in inclusive settings.
A kick-off meeting will be held in Athens 17–19 June 2014 as an event under the Greek Presidency of the EU. Further project information will be made available via the Agency website following this meeting.
