<< Background >>The project STEAM in the secondary school with no barriers for blind and visually impaired pupils, has been created to generate in Spanish schools, including the partner university, inclusive classrooms with a diversity of students with different profiles, especially students with visual impairments. The school partnership includes three schools specialized in this student profile, the collaboration and exchange of practices will serve to generate experiential classrooms within technical subjects such as science, technology, engineering, mathematics and arts (STEAM), subjects that have often been cited as difficult for students with visual impairments.The centers specialized in students with visual impairments, the partner university, the Canary Islands high school with students with various disabilities, including severe disability profiles, and the coordinating center in Burgos will generate classrooms of full integration, with students of diverse profiles, working in STEAM subjects in a cooperative system and seeking a full integration of all students, working on equal opportunities without differentiating students by abilities, religion, sexual identity or gender.Within the specific needs for STEAM material for visually impaired students, the project will address the following needs;1.- Generation of material with technical notation in audio and Braille format and to be able to include it in conventional schools.Access to visual resources. To develop online and public formats accessible to visually impaired students in STEAM subjects in an alternative format to the usual one.3.- Development of oral explanations for the understanding of visual concepts.Experimenting without vision: some aspects of participation in classroom activities, inclusive experiments among students with and without disabilities.5.- Creating teaching methods for STEAM subjects and being able to develop activities in integrated classrooms. 6.- Real experimentation in integrated classrooms and generation of teaching strategies, highlighting in this the need for teacher training to equip teachers to overcome these problems.There is also a need to generate a specialized training for undergraduate and master students in teaching within the profile of students with visual impairments, this project addresses this training through specialized partners and the O.N.C.E., collaborating entity.<< Objectives >>1.- Diseñar aulas inclusivas incluyendo todo tipo de perfiles. Aulas inclusivas que muestren el desarrollo de asignaturas STEAM y talleres entre alumnos de diferentes perfiles integrados y trabajando en sistema cooperativo.2.- Adaptar aulas , recursos, medios y métodos en colegios societarios para poder diseñar proyectos educativos de aula inclusivos.3.- Formar a alumnos de grado y master en metodologías para alumnos con discapacidad visual mediante la experiencia desarrollada en el proyecto en los colegios societarios.4.- Difundir el proyecto entre profesionales del entorno a través de los centros de formación de profesorado de Burgos y Lanzarote, a través de sisones internacionales generadas por la Universidad de Burgos y a través de los foros en etwinning y el twinspace entre profesionales educativos europeos para poder crear sinergis futuras entre ellos y de esta forma mejorar el desarrollo de una educación diversificada.5.- Generar material audiovisual entre los socios que pueda servir como fuente de recursos para poder mejorar y diseñar talleres específicos en cada centro.6.- Evaluar la aplicación desde una perspectiva experiencial a materias STEAM en aulas inclusivas.7.- Reforzar la red erasmus entre centros escolares para los socios participantes.8.- Reforzar el trabajo en red de los profesores y alumnos participantes y motivar esta forma de trabajo entre alumnado con discapacidad visual y discapacidades diversas.<< Implementation >>The schools will design STEAM activities for students of different profiles and abilities, obviously Lanzarote IES and specialised schools will focus on the profile of their students. The schools will publish STEAM activities and subject development through the project twinspace, and these publications will serve to generate learning and exchange of good practices in the schools. The activities will be designed so that students, regardless of their abilities, can acquire key competences in STEAM subjects, generate inclusive classrooms for all types of students and design activities for cooperative work between students.The project designs three LTTs between students in order to develop in an experiential way all this shared online experience, these three LTTs will be used to evaluate the shared online activities, to evaluate the real effectiveness of these activities and to correct and improve their application, being absolutely necessary these experiences in order to evaluate in a real way an inclusive classroom formed by European students, globalizing in this way the education in Europe, both by nationalities and by abilities.The whole experience will be public, open to comments, trying to make European teachers aware of the need for training and adaptation of the classroom to an inclusive system.In the LTTs for teachers, the aim is to train teachers from the partner centres, but also to disseminate and have an impact on the professionals in the surrounding area through training sessions held at the Faculty of Education in Burgos and the teacher training centres in both Burgos and Lanzarote.<< Results >>1.- Document good practice guidance on converting technical information into accessible formats and, where such guidance is already available, ensure that it is widely publicised and used.2.- Document good practice related to the creation of visual resources for learners with visual impairments. 3.- Document good practice related to cooperative work in classrooms with diverse learner profiles. 4.- To investigate in a practical way the effectiveness of tactile materials and whether students are equipped with the appropriate knowledge for the effective development of workshops designed to use them efficiently.5.- To generate dissemination through etwinning among European education professionals about the possibility of creating classrooms with the participation of students with visual impairments in practical lessons such as experiments and observations, integrated classrooms among students with different abilities.6.- Identify or offer guidance on teaching methods to optimise the experience of students with visual impairment in the classroom.Develop training to increase the confidence of teachers/lecturers in teaching technical subjects to students with visual impairment. The design of this training through the creation of networks of teachers, getting them to share ideas and good practice, workshops or online courses and sessions between undergraduate and masters students, professionals from specialist schools and the O.N.C.E team led by D. Jaime Muñoz in the two LTTs in Burgos and Lanzarote. 7.- Improve communication between students and teachers so that teachers are aware of the needs of students with visual impairment.To carry out and publish the effective interventions in the teaching of STEAM subjects to students with visual impairment and integrated classrooms carried out in the LTTs among students.
