Empowering Inclusive Teachers for Today and Tomorrow (EiTTT)

Welcome to EiTTT

EiTTT (Empowering Inclusive Teachers for Today and Tomorrow) was a European strategic partnership project funded under the Erasmus+ KA2 Education Programme of the European Commission. MIE led this 30-month Erasmus+ project that focused on the development of mainstream schools as inclusive learning environments for all learners. EiTTT commenced in October 2016 and ended in April 2019. The project partnership featured three Initial Teacher Education institutes, MIE, University Colleges Leuven-Limburg (Belgium) and Karel de Grote University College (Belgium) and three schools, Anthoupolis KA (Cyprus), Rigas 45. Vidusskola (Latvia) and Lukkarin koulu (Finland). Each partner hosted a 5-day learning activity in their institute/school with all of the partners attending to witness best practice in the host setting.
In total there were six activities:

• Co-Teaching in Teacher Education (UCLL – Belgium)
• Co-Teaching for Inclusive Classroom Practice (Lukkarin Koulo Primary School – Finland)
• Video Interaction Guidance in Teacher Education (KdG – Belgium)
• Student-teacher Placement in a Special Education School Context – Developing Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes for Inclusive Practice (MIE – Ireland)
• Inclusion Through Education – Students from Refugee/Migrant/Socio-economically Disadvantaged Backgrounds (Anthoupolis Primary School – Cyprus)
• Cross-Disciplinary Support for Inclusive Education (Riga Secondary School No. 45 – Latvia)

These learning activities formed the basis of the project resources that are available below. These resources comprise six overall case studies based on the practices being observed in the above activities, 30 case studies in context (country-specific interpretations of the practices), and six learning activity summaries.
