The DEVOTE team has worked hard to develop the structure of a\u00a06-module course for teachers and educators<\/strong>, aiming to provide them with skills and tools to integrate students with migrant backgrounds in schools.<\/p>

We developed these modules using the feedback of students with migrant backgrounds and their teachers, that we collected through a survey. Their insight put into light the necessity to discuss the\u00a0assessment practices<\/strong>\u00a0for students with migrant backgrounds and the difficulties they can encounter regarding the use of the\u00a0national language<\/strong>. We therefore designed educational content aiming to give teachers tools and guidance to better support students and to foster their success in school. However, the survey we conducted also highlighted the importance of both the environment and the social setting for students with migrant backgrounds. To address these matters, we created modules on\u00a0parents\u2019 engagement<\/strong>, on\u00a0psychosocial support<\/strong>\u00a0and on the \u201cWhole school approach<\/strong>\u201d, a method involving all parts of the school to answer students\u2019 holistic needs. Finally, we provide examples of\u00a0good practices in intercultural education<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

An initial assessment of newly arrived migrant students is not widely carried out and is rarely comprehensive in Europe.
These elements usually contribute either to decisions on how to place the students in schools and\/or to provide learning support to meet their needs.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tREAD MORE ABOUT MODULE 2<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Parental involvement<\/h3><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Students' well-being at school also depends on their parents' perception and attitudes towards school, learning and teaching (Trasberg & Kong, 2017; Smit, Driessen, Sluiter & Sleegers, 2007). Parents' perceptions of the school may be shaped by a number of factors, these include discussions with their children, other parents and school staff, their children's school performance.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tREAD MORE ABOUT MODULE 4<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In addition to developing the language competences of students from migrant backgrounds and ensuring they are making good progress generally, it is equally important that schools attend to students' social, emotional and mental well-being. Newly arrived migrant students, in particular, have to acquire a new language, adapt to new academic routines as well as deal with unfamiliar experiences in the wider community.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tREAD MORE ABOUT MODULE 5<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
