About this project
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif">The 24 months project increases the institutional capacity of six rural schools in Transylvania with over 20% Roma children to ensure learning for all. In these schools, drop-out rates are high and students perform rather poorly in national evaluations. Most of the parents have very poor literacy skills and little education. Teachers are unprepared to work with children from vulnerable family backgrounds. </span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif">We chose a 360-degree approach to inclusion, working with three microsystems that affect the child: the classroom, the school and the community. Overall, 360 students, 150 parents, 90 teachers, 18 school leaders will benefit from the project.</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif">The schools will engage parents in school-based activities to increase social inclusion. Learning activities (both lessons and extracurricular activities) will become more accessible and attractive for all students as adults become emotionally available and receptive to the children’s needs, as teachers gain confidence in using inclusive approaches, and strive to increase the relevance of the curriculum to respond to the interests and needs of Roma children and parents. </span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif">More at: https://invatarepentrutoti.ro/ </span></span></span></p>
