Tools for Inclusive Education project (2020-2022) aims at providing educators with knowledge and skills in the fields of specific learning disorders, promote their professional development and supply them with tools they can apply in their daily work. A special interest lies in higher education students not studying in their first language.
I am aware of some of my students having learning difficulties. I think I need concrete tools to support learning.
My grades were poor during the first academic term here, because I was so scared to speak aloud. Local language is hard to learn. I had a fear of making mistakes. I learn best in small groups when there is less noise.
I’m a first year student. The way of studying here is different. Sometimes I don’t understand what the teacher says.
ToFIE fosters diversity and non-discrimination by providing educators with knowledge and skills in the fields of learning disorders, promote their professional development and supply them with tools they can apply in their daily work in order to enhance social inclusion.
The project gathers data both of educators’ needs and of current policies in partner countries as a basis for a curriculum of the course for HE educators.
Comprehensive handbook for teachers contains good practices, techniques and tools that will support inclusion and participation of students with specific learning disorders.
Course materials include information about specific learning disorders as well as introduce working methods, practices, and ways to deliver them in the classroom.
