STEMS Projekt Handbuch

Project STEMS originates from the necessity of adaption to continuous changes in the world of globalized education, multiculturalism/multilingualism, and due to the increasing immigration rates. By the time STEMS is over, we will have produced four main intellectual outputs. With the help of these outputs, we aim to: • promote a more inclusive education system and lead to a decrease in the academic achievement gap between students with and without a migrant background, • create an innovative integration process with the help of mentoring (special language support) and parental involvement, • foster the family/community involvement method for the integration of immigrant students, • define ''Quality Standards for Parental Involvement in Schools'' both on international and local scales, • develop teachers’ skills in the field of multilingualism/multiculturalism, diversity management, and intercultural pedagogy, • create an online toolkit, a sharing, interactive environment for teachers, • develop teaching methodologies to promote integration at school and to improve learning abilities of new foreign students, • create school environments reducing prejudices and stereotypes so that they will be open to multiculturalism
