A new project is at the beginning: Inclusive Higher Education Training Program, coordinated by EIA Portugal.
It is a project that touches on a very hot and current topic, especially for teachers and trainers who urgently need to update their skills for inclusion. Students with special educational needs need to be integrated and for this to actually happen, teachers and trainers need to be well prepared and ready to work with these students.
The main objective of the project is to develop and deliver a training program on inclusive pedagogic methodologies that will prepare higher education professors to instruct students with disabilities while improving their pedagogic qualifications in general but will do it on an inclusive context also preparing the professors to deliver inclusive classes and produce adapted, accessible pedagogic materials.
The target groups of the project are higher education professors, but also, indirectly, higher education students and applicants who will benefit from being taught by professors who have pedagogic training and feel ready and confident to instruct students with disabilities. Also the higher education institutions need professors to become ready to instruct students with disabilities.
Stay tuned for more information and updates about this new project!
