PAESIC: Toolkit for School Leaders

The present tool, IO3, is a comprehensive guide for school leaders that will prove invaluable as they seek to develop and apply responses to the particular needs of teachers in their schools. This tool will be an attempt to comprehend and to tackle some critical issues related to including migrant and refugee children and creating a classroom environment where all feel seen and heard in their schools.
This material carefully portrays the different challenges teachers meet in the classroom while at the same time guiding school leaders in thinking about what is unique in their experience and ways in which they can respond appropriately. This guide begins with a chapter developed by Youth Europe Service on collaboration among NGOs, individuals, associations, municipalities, parents, mediators, reflecting on the benefits of the collaboration. Chapter two, elaborated by Thessaly University, reflects on advocacy actions by school leaders. Chapter three presents ideas towards a common school strategy by Comparative Research Network. To conclude, the last chapter is a collaboration between University College of Northern Denmark and NGO Crossing Borders and discusses how to enhance teacher’s communication and professional profiles.
