1. Identify Multiple Barriers

Forward

Identify the multiple barriers you have to school and learning.

  1. Do you understand the lessons? If you do not, what is the reason? Is the problem related to the language, to the content of the lessons or to both?
  2. Do you think you have received the necessary support and attention from the school and teachers?
  3. Are you supported by your parents to do your homework?
  4. Do you feel accepted by your classmates and peers?
  5. Is your new environment very different from the one you knew in your home country? Do you feel you belong in this school environment and culture?

Training Sources From the School Safety Net Portal

  • How Much More?
    A documentary filmed from October 2011 to February 2012 in the streets of Athens (Greece). Immigrants from secret apartments and restricted areas present their cases.

Success Stories From the School Safety Net Portal

  • Out of Africa (Portugal)
    A typical story of racial prejudice and discrimination that is overcome by engaging students in producing a newspaper article on comparing cultures, their traditions, expectations, gender roles, etc.

Interviews

  • Interviews on migration issues
    The interviews collected, from the Routes Portal (Log-in: teacher – pixel), were made with Migrants and Natives who have been in contact with immigrants.
  • Interviews with Greek and Irish pupils
    A section of the School Inclusion Portal dedicated to interviews made, in five different European countries, with counsellors in charge of educational policies, headteachers, teachers and students dealing with the prevention of early school leaving.

Other Sources

  • CTREQ (Quebec Transfer Center for School Success)
    Teachers could draw inspiration from the software to spot early school leaving “LDDS”, created by CTREQ to submit a questionnaire to their students. This software helps spot 12 to 18 year-old students at risk of early school leaving, identify them and guide them to school agents.
