SpicE

SpicE’s bundle of actions aims to enhance Primary Education Teachers’ ability to implement effective STEAM instruction for protecting students with Mild Disabilities (Special Education) from educational and social exclusion. STEAM is used both as the means and as the purpose for enabling a much-needed shift in Special Education in Primary Education both at an in-service and pre-service level. It sought to uplift barriers for a significant number of students that are silently, slowly, and indirectly marginalized from the early stages of European school systems due to the lack of Teachers’ STEAM skills and the lack of a methodological liaison (along with practical guidelines and curricula) between STEAM and Special Education educational models. The goal of the project is to design a STEAM inSpecial Education Competence Framework (identify skills gaps and map them to existing and new job profiles), develop an Educational Programme (identify proper didactical approaches and map skills to educational goals of a curriculum), develop, pilot and evaluate thecorresponding Training Programme in 4 pilot countries.
