Project overview
‘Reaching the hard to reach: inclusive responses to diversity through child-teacher dialogue’, 2017-2020, funded by the European Union, Erasmus+, Key Action 2, School Education Strategic Partnerships, Development of Innovation. The project involved five universities and thirty primary schools, from five countries: Austria, Denmark, England, Portugal and Spain.
The central purpose of this three-year project was to develop effective strategies for including all children in lessons, particularly those who might be seen as ‘hard to reach’. The research led to the development of Inclusive Inquiry, an approach that involves dialogues between children and teachers to develop inclusive lessons. A set of materials have been prepared in five languages to help schools to implement the approach. These include: Inclusive Inquiry Guide; Preparing students to be Researchers: A Guidance Manual; Accounts of Developments in the five country networks; Students’ Voices Toolkit; Guidance Document for monitoring Teachers’ Thinking and Practices; Guidance Document for monitoring Students’ Engagement.
