Overall objectives of the inclusive learning resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What are the overall broader objectives to which the action will contribute?) 

According to the project objectives this issue addresses the causes, nature, and manifestations of behavioral disorders.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the key indicators related to the overall objectives?) 

1. Description of behaviour disorders

2. Pedagogical approaches to deal with behaviour problems 

3. Resolving conflicts and children behaviour at preschool

4. Cooperation with the family and support team.  

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of information for these indicators?) 

Risks and Challenges:

The methodological material developed is of theoretical and advisory nature, so there are risks associated with its use in practice.


Specific purpose of the inclusive learning resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What specific objective is the resource intended to achieve to contribute to the overall objectives?) 

To facilitate the development of a unified support system and provide an inclusive educational environment, January 4, 2011,  National Centre for Education of the Republic of Latvia and the State Education Agency signed an agreement on the implementation of the European Social Fund project “Development of a Support System for Students with Functional Disabilities”.

One of the tasks of the project is the establishment of special education laboratories and their operation in Latvian higher education institutions for scientific research on special education issues and training of teachers.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (Which indicators clearly show that the objective of the actions/resource has been achieved?) 

The methodological material is designed to support preschool and school teachers, support team members.

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of  information that exist or can be collected? What are the methods required to get this information?) 

Through this methodological material, readers will gain necessary knowledge of children with behaviour disorders and it can help to implement certain methodological ideas into the practice.

Risks and Challenges: (Which factors and conditions outside the user's responsibility are necessary to achieve that objective? (external conditions)) Which risks should be taken into consideration?  

Potential risks are related to the understanding and attitudes of teachers and parents to inclusion.


Expected results on implementation of the resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (The results are the outputs envisaged to upscale. What are the expected results?) 

To gain knowledge, understanding and skills for pedagogical work with children in problem situations: situations where it is necessary to recognize behavioral manifestations as pre-disorder predictions, assess behavior in relation to factors affecting it; situations, when the educator has to organize a group of children with different behaviors and choose the most appropriate techniques; in situations with the child's parents to provide them with guidance and networking.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the indicators to measure whether and to what extent the action/resource achieves the expected results?) 

The methodological material includes recommendations that preschool teachers and teachers, support teams should use while working with children with behaviour problems. 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the available sources of information for these indicators?) 

Risks and Challenges: (What external conditions must be met to obtain the expected results on schedule?) 

Potential risks are related to the understanding and attitudes of teachers and parents to inclusion.


Activities

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What are the key activities to be carried out and in what sequence in order to reach the expected results?) 

The first section deals with behavioral disorders as a phenomenon. The second section contains the most extensive material and describes the pedagogical strategies work in children's groups. The third section is dedicated to teachers of pre-school groups. Chapter Four the complexity of the correction work is described. The methodological material has an illustrated appendix - worksheets for classes with children. There are included several activities in the methodological material: time for reflection, working with recommended literature, analyses of problem cases, recommendations.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the means required to implement these activities, e.g. personnel, equipment, training, studies, supplies, operational facilities, etc.) 

To be applied by the preschool teachers and teachers in the school context, classroom context and working with parents. 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of information about action progress?) 

Methodological materials have been prepared by the National Center for Education of the Republic of Latvia, therefore their implementation and costs are the responsibility of state institutions.

Risks and Challenges: (What pre-conditions are required before the use of the resource starts? What conditions outside the user's direct control have to be met for the implementation of the planned activities?) 

The methodological materials have been prepared by the National Center for Education of the Republic of Latvia,  the prerequisites and quality control regarding their implementation are determined by the state.
