Partanen (Skolutveklarna, SE) & Noemi Birta-Székely (Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj, RO)
This workshop focusses on assessing the inclusiveness of the school, i.e. in what way does a school (as
a whole) and the teacher (as a person) favour the learning and functioning of children with SEN? Assessing
children’s functioning can never be seen in isolation, but has to be seen in interaction. How
can teachers/schools be coached in such a way to create positive change, in order to cope better with a diversity
of needs in the classroom. Assessment as a lever of conceptual change. Examples are shown of such contextual
assessment; participants practice and reflect on their own practice 13:00 Lunch (provided) 15:00
