Overall objectives of the inclusive learning resource

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

The initiative enables VET teachers and trainers to help the integration of students with disabilities into mainstream VET by removing unintended barriers to their entry and successful participation.  

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

This will be an important resource to be drawn on in initial and continuing teacher training. It will be complemented by a toolkit for identifying needs and promoting the use of the project’s resources in meeting these needs and by an introductory tutorial concerning the teaching of entrepreneurialism as an example of how barriers can be resolved. The partnership includes a strong range of experience and user groups and is well-integrated into stakeholder networks at national and European levels.  The impact of the project will raise awareness of, and enable staff to respond to, increased participation in mainstream VET by disabled people – which has been shown to be a powerful combination for change in tertiary education.

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

Risks and Challenges:


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?) 

Full accessibility for students with disabilities to mainstream VET requires adjustments in teaching, learning and assessment and teachers and trainers are best positioned to do this.  

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

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?) 

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?  


Expected results on implementation of the resource

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

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


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?) 

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

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

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?)
