EIPSI aims to design, prototype and test innovative solutions for teachers and stakeholders (such as educational advisors, inspectors, public administrators, delegates) to improve student equity and inclusion through the use of Evidence-Based Practices.
Addressing school inclusion requires a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, and our consortium is made up of professionals from different areas of knowledge and experience: research, teaching, policy formulation, teacher training, coaching, school development, school inspection, psychopedagogical and educational counseling from five different countries and three types of institutions: higher education, public administration and professional association.
To address these priorities, the project proposes a holistic approach, which includes a 360º intervention plan that addresses three pillars: (1) the development of teachers’ capacities; 2) school development; 3) stakeholder networking and awareness raising.
Derived from these three areas of intervention, the project will produce tangible results in five domains by producing five intellectual products, which include: 1) Systematic data sets of criteria and indicators for teachers, school leaders and policy makers on evidence and research-informed practices for school inclusion; 2) a database with resources (effective and innovative teaching practices) for various classrooms and a digital prototype to engage teachers with quality and validated evidence and facilitate the creation of multidisciplinary partnerships and networks, as well as a space of interactive work for cooperation and school information; 3) training materials for teachers, school leaders and counselors / educational tutors and educational policy makers to address school diversity through EIPA; 4) school development plan that includes guidelines, materials and intervention structures; 5) European guidelines for policy makers and community stakeholders on how to foster networks and the level of awareness of evidence-based decisions in the field of inclusion and school equity.
