Designing Inclusive Learning Environments – Erasmus+ Teacher Training Courses

Course Description	The inclusiveness approach in education has a long history. This concept, which was previously seen as an educational approach for individuals with disabilities or special education needs, has now expanded to include all disadvantaged groups and has gained the meaning of ensuring equal access to social, cultural, educational, and vital activities and opportunities for all individuals. The inclusive education application is aimed to supporting the personal and professional development of teachers, supporting their intellectual, emotional, and social development, and providing a transformation in European society on inclusion through teachers. This training, which has long-term, deep social and philosophical content, has been developed on an activity-based basis. The clear purpose of education is to contribute to the development of our children with a human-centered approach, to ensure that each child’s differences and characteristics are included in educational activities, to eliminate discrimination against children in schools, to prevent personal changes and adjustments in the classrooms, and to contribute to the perception of each child as a valuable individual with their differences. The implicit purpose of this training is to enable trainees to acquire constructivist teaching techniques as skills through activity-based training practices.
Methodologies Of The Course	The course methodology will be based on active participation and experiential learning, as participants will be involved in the lessons through case studies, drama, and games. In addition, in the lessons, inquiry-based learning and cooperative learning techniques will be applied, as they will consist of theoretical information, concrete exercises, and group discussions. By considering and applying each approach/tool in your daily teaching practice, you will gain new perspectives on creating an inclusive, multicultural school environment. In addition, the participants will be provided with preparatory material that includes the presentation of the course and covers all important concepts. The course instructor will also send you a questionnaire to identify your needs and interests. At the end of each training day, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and exchange feedback with the facilitator and other participants.
