Project Summary

EiTTT was a 30-month Erasmus+ project that focused on the development of mainstream schools as inclusive learning environments for all learners. The project partnership featured three Initial Teacher Education institutes and three schools. Each partner hosted a 5-day learning activity in their institute/school with all of the partners attending to witness best practice in the host setting.

In total there were six activities:

• Co-Teaching in Teacher Education (UCLL – Belgium)
• Co-Teaching for Inclusive Classroom Practice (Lukkarin Koulo Primary School – Finland)
• Video Interaction Guidance in Teacher Education (KdG – Belgium)
• Student-teacher Placement in a Special Education School Context – Developing Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes for Inclusive Practice (MIE – Ireland)
• Inclusion Through Education – Students from Refugee/Migrant/Socio-economically Disadvantaged Backgrounds (Anthoupolis Primary School – Cyprus)
• Cross-Disciplinary Support for Inclusive Education (Riga Secondary School No. 45 – Latvia)

These learning activities formed the basis of the project resources that are available at www.mie.ie/eittt. These resources comprise six overall case studies based on the practices being observed in the above activities, 30 case studies in context (country-specific interpretation of the practices), and six learning activity summaries.
