TEAM COOPERATION TO FIGHT EARLY SCHOOL LEAVING

Latest update : 23 July 2015.

This section focuses on the training of the teachers as well as other members of the multi-professional teams. In the first subsection some relevant domains of teacher’s professional and personal development are presented with special focus on training for cooperation in multi-professional teams. The second subsection focuses on the training for cooperation with students. Here, the focus is on non-cognitive approaches, which are in addition to traditional “academic support” measures recognized as crucial support for addressing early school leavers’ difficulties, which can be of social, cognitive or emotional nature. These resilience-building approaches are recognized not only for building feelings of confidence, but also have (indirect but important) effect on academic performance of students. In the third subsection some innovative forms of training for teachers and other educational staff are presented, which can serve as a basis for developing new forms of training for preventing ESL.
