Joint training with other schools

In cooperation with one or more schools in the region, the school organizes a training activity for the teachers on a
topic of concern related to the inclusion of refugee students.

Steps

  1. The teachers’ council, the action coordination group or a teacher selects one or more issues related to the inclusion of refugee students that they are concerned with or which the teachers need empowerment, training, or education. The coordination team can identify teachers’ needs through a questionnaire, interviews, or structured discussions. (See the questionnaire in the activity Reflection: To what extent am I ready to welcome Refugee children into the school?)
  2. The organizers contact one or several schools in the area, either directly or through the local coordination offices, sharing the intention of organizing a joint training and detects the interest. If the school/schools agree, the school appoints a team to coordinate the organization of the training or, alternatively, an organization team with representatives from the schools involved in the joint training is appointed.
  3. The organizing group chooses the type of training and whether it will entail internal training by a particular teacher, or the sharing of good practices between schools, or a program offered by an external trainer / partner organization.
  4. After the relevant discussions and required permissions and briefings, the time and location of the training are set by the organizing team, and all participating teachers are informed. Participation is suggested to be voluntary. Interested persons should register to attend.

Evaluation

Written evaluation of the training by the teachers who participated, defining the degree of satisfaction (1-5, with 1=slightly satisfied and 5=completely satisfied). The coordination team collects and analyses the data and presents it to the association of each school.

Duration: 1 month (preparation & training approx. 4-30 hours)
