The European Toolkit for Schools has helped schools to improve attendance,
reduce dropout and promote inclusion for five years now. Just this month, it
expanded its offering with a new self-assessment tool and video section!
 The new self-assessment tool on inclusion in and around schools helps users to reflect on
their school’s policies and practices and discover ways to improve them. The self-
assessment consists of questions based on the NESET analytical report Structural indicators
for inclusive systems in and around schools. These are grouped into seven areas:
1. Promoting system integration of policy and practice for inclusive systems in and around
schools
2. Macrostructure issues for inclusive systems in and around schools
3. Whole-school approach to inclusive systems
4. Teacher and school leadership quality for inclusive systems in and around schools
5. A multidisciplinary focus on health and welfare issues in education
6. Vulnerable individuals and groups
7. Parental involvement and family support
After answering the questions, users receive a personalised report, which shows their
score for each of the areas, indicating where their school is doing well and where there is
room for improvement. Where relevant, they will also get suggested resources from the
European Toolkit for Schools to further develop their system and pedagogies.

In addition, a new video section now includes reports of good practices in the field of

inclusive education and tackling early school leaving. See, for example, the Joaquim Ruyra
Elementary School in a disadvantaged suburban district of Barcelona, which was dubbed
the “miracle school” for its great academic outcomes:
Both new and returning users interested in inclusion are sure to benefit from these new
tools!
