EU remains among the most popular destinations for migrants, asylum seekers & refugees (EU Commission, 2017) and Teachers’ are not prepared for the new paradigm of a Europe that is becoming increasingly diverse. By one hand, European classrooms are becoming more and more diverse, but by the other, teacher profession remains largely homogenous and teachers lack experience in diverse schooling environments. Teachers have difficulties managing classrooms and this is a fact. These difficulties have not only direct impact on their level of satisfaction (and consequently affects negatively the quality of the education offered) but also impacts on pupils educational achievement (that, at long-term, results in ESL, school-prison pipeline and society alienation). INN2DIVERSITY project focus on 1) preparing teachers for diversity and strengthening healthy relationships by providing to teachers a new non-formal process that stimulate their active engagement in career-long competence development; 2) diminish the application of measures/policies as suspension because suspension rates themselves are predictive of drop-out rates.Concerning the needs of the targeted group - teachers and pupils - INTO2DIVERSITY proposes a new methodology – mentoring – as a system level approach to empower teachers with managing diversity in classroom strategies & tools to better engage students & transforming teaching in a healthy profession.INN2DIVERSITY project has 2 main goals: 1) to reinforce competencies of the teachers to deal with complex classroom realities to better manage diversity and keeping students with disruptive behavior and disruptive academic engagement engaged during classroom time, by empowering them with the necessary competencies (based on the Framework of teacher competences for engaging with diversity promoted by the European Commission in 2017) to improve positive relationships between them and this students2) to create a mentoring model to support schools to transfer and replicate the good practices managing diversity and complex classrooms, and doing so offering them an additional tool to improve teacher’s levels of satisfaction in the classroom; reduce disparities in learning The project foresees the following objectives: 1)to develop, transfer & implement through transnational cooperation an innovative training curricula on diversity and disruptive classroom behaviors management2)to identify the suitable profile & personal skills to manage students with disruptive behaviour3)increase teachers motivation & satisfaction of students’ daily work in school thus contributing to increasing their teaching quality & introducing a virtuous cycle between students’ school achievement & teachers job satisfaction4)design a mentoring model to empower teachers and schools with the suitable methods, knowledge & skills to deal with daily difficulties at work & to manage students with disruptive behaviours5) evaluate peer-mentoring effectiveness as an in-service only focused on professional development to promote positive relationships between teachers & disruptive studentsDuring 3 years, INN2DIVERSITY partners will build a set of Intellectual Outputs, namely: O1 - Report on programmes and measures to support the development of diversity and disruptive classroom behaviors management competences in teacher’s continuous professional enhancement IO2.Training curricula on diversity and disruptive classroom behaviors management IO3.Mentors’ Coordinators and Mentors profile IO4.
