“Education Practices Based on Evidence” Conference

The "Education Practices Informed by Evidence for School Inclusion" conference, held on March 23rd at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, was an opportunity to learn more about the EIPSI project - Evidence-Informed Practice for School Inclusion. The project aims to improve equity and inclusion for students through the use of evidence-based practices.

The conference began with a presentation by Chris Brown from the University of Warwick, who spoke about the importance of facilitating evidence-based educational practice for inclusion. Afterwards, project partners presented their main resources and products, and a space for exchanging experiences was created between Catalan and Romanian schools involved in the project.

Finally, the roles of educational agents in promoting the use of evidence in educational practice were discussed. The EIPSI project has a holistic approach that addresses three pillars: the development of teacher capacities, school development, and networking with stakeholders and raising awareness.

The project consortium is made up of professionals from different areas of knowledge and experience, such as research, teaching, policy formulation, teacher training, coaching, school development, school inspection, and psycho-pedagogical and educational counseling, and comes from five different countries and three types of institutions: higher education, public administration, and professional associations.
