Project Summary

CONTEXT
The widespread use of qualified inclusive education has become an important goal in many EU countries. They have embraced and adapted their support services to improve their quality of inclusive education. As in many European countries, support services are required. Among these support services in inclusive education, resource room (RR) model is also widely used in schools. However, the teachers who are not in the special education area who provide services in this application need support in giving education at all levels according to the potentials of students with special needs (SEN). It is necessary to go through a number of improvements in the nature of both the teachers, the programs to be implemented.

OBJECTIVES
The UDL4U project aims to increase the quality of support education services by planning activities such as organizing workshops to determine needs and problems; organizing the mobility to see the applications in place by partner countries in the project; developing a number of standard development activities that can measure the quality of RR model; developing the general education teacher (GET) training program, named GETInvolved, based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles; organizing an international congress.

We anticipate that the vocational qualifications of teachers who provide RR model will be improved through education and training program through the UDL4U project. All teachers providing supportive education services will learn new methods, techniques and approaches to provide education to European standards for children with different and special needs.They will also have the opportunity to learn innovative teaching methods such as creative drama as well as scientific-based applications used in the field of special education. By learning the UDL principles, students will learn to offer effective learning opportunities at every level.
