Project Summary

Our project covers “Integration and Integration Practices for Special Needs Students”.
Mainstreaming education is defined as education of mildly special needs students by training in general education classes without changing educational practices with their peers; integration practices are defined not only as mild but also moderate and severe disabilities as adaptation of school practices to these students to ensure that formal education continues. The principle adopted in many countries to ensure the highest level of individual development and integration of special needs students, The common problems that our teachers, school administrators, parents and special needs students have experienced in the process of cohesion training have been identified and goals and solutions have been produced to solve these problems.

Goals:
* To prepare an Individualized Education Plan and guide the teachers in our schools.
* To be able to provide effective parental guidance to inform, educate and involve the learning process of pupils in need of special education.
* To develop effective and functional educational materials that our teachers with special education students can use in the classroom and school environment.
* To be able to direct our special needs students to guide them in the process of overcoming the difficulties they face in acquiring profession and social acceptance.
* To reduce the special needs students’ early school dropout.
* To increase the professional development of our teachers in school.
* To increase the academic achievement of students with special needs and disadvantages.
* To provide peer acceptance towards students with special needs.

To reach these targets, we would like to carry out 12 activities, 5 international and 7 local, with our partners under the Project. Our transnational activities and participants:
In Poland “Developing Individualized Education Plan” activities, in Spain “Parental Guidance” activities “in Turkey Material Preparation and Development” activities in Portugal “Special Needs Students Social Life and Future Processing Application” activities in Italy “Activities for Social Acceptance in Integration” activities. 16 activities teachers will participate in every activity, 4 teachers per country. Activities will be attended by a total of 80 teachers. It will be preferred that the teachers participating in the activities are from special education, classroom teacher, preschool teacher and guidance branches. There is no student movement in our project. For the appraisal evaluations, the student profile of the countries where the activities are performed will be used.
In addition, 7 activities we will do locally will enable us to fulfill our goals of providing social acceptance of special needs students and enhancing academic development.
Our project has been prepared with the participation of 5 countries. Our program consists of 438 teachers in total, 5200 students aged 4-15 years and their parents and their parents. 459 of them are special needs students. Every partner school has final products (brochures, hand books, DVDs, guides, banners). We will share the results of our projects on WEB sites, project WEB site, e-twining portal, education directorates sites. As a result of this sharing, we plan to have 35,000 participants.

For the dissemination of our project;
– Turkey will be responsible for e-twining platform, “We Are Different Colors of the Rainbow”, by conducting activities to help them reach a wider audience.
Our Spanish partner will set up a web page about the project and announce our project on our website and on the official website of each institution. Social media accounts will be opened on YouTube.com and a project channel will be set up. These studies will be in Turkish and English languages, which will be open to all stakeholders and transparent.
– As a result of the mobility, we will prepare a brochure and a “Social Acceptance Information Package” which we will be prepared in English. The forms, “BEP Preparation Guide”, “Parental Guidance Guide”, “Material Preparation and Implementation Guide” will be distributed to the teachers at the other schools through the Education Directorates. We will publish guides and brochures in pdf format on our project website. Our tangible results will be updated every year and will continue to be used in schools so that schools will contribute to the development.
