Why Inn2diversity?
On one hand, European classrooms are becoming more and more diverse, but on the other, teacher profession remains largely homogenous and teachers lack experience in diverse schooling environments. Teachers have difficulties managing classrooms and this is a fact. These difficulties have not only direct impact on their level of satisfaction (and consequently affects negatively the quality of the education offered) but also impacts on pupils educational achievement (that, at long-term, results in ESL, school-prison pipeline and society alienation).

This project wishes to reinforce competencies of the teachers to deal with complex classroom realities to better manage diversity and keeping students with disruptive behaviour and disruptive academic engagement engaged during classroom time, by empowering them with the necessary competencies - to improve positive relationships between them and their students. Furthermore, a mentoring model is to be created to support schools to transfer and replicate the good practices managing diversity and complex classrooms, and doing so offering them an additional tool to improve teacher’s levels of satisfaction in the classroom and reduce disparities in learning.
