Partners' Institution:

Connectis srl

Project's period (from/to):

October 2008 - March 2009

WPs concerned:

WP 6 - Development of the School Inclusion Portal and web Site and of Project Visual Identity

Objectives of activities carried out:

Creation of the Training Course section on the web portal of the project

From this section of the School Inclusion Portal, it is possible to access the Training Package for secondary school teachers, to help them to identify students at risk of early school leaving and to provide them with some useful skills to help prevent or reduce the problem.

The Training Package consists of:
1. Five on-line course modules focusing firstly on how to identify students at risk and then on strategies which can be used to address the problem.
2. Teachers Forum
3. Reports on the current educational systems
4. Reviews of Publications a database of relevant material available in 4 different European countries on the topic of early school leaving.
5. Presentation of Case Studies
6. Interviews
7. Description of Experiences of teachers in dealing with the problem of early school leaving.
In this period we was in charge to complete the online course modules for the different countries, with the upload of the materials produced by the partners.
The partners have produced lots of material, with links to images, files and web pages, using a form that we suggested to them, and we had uploaded it on the project portal. We organise the material better as possible, according to the needs of the partner, and we have discussed the results during the last meeting in February.

This online course is organised in modules, created by the different partners in charge, then divided in chapters.
