The project in brief.
Why EMSTEP.
Teachers rarely receive structured feedback on their own teaching. EMSTEP develops classroom observation tools, data collection methods and school-based professional learning plans for teachers (PLP) with which schools build more inclusive teaching practices.
Partners from six countries are testing the results in primary and secondary schools; in Slovenia, Sladki Vrh and Kungota primary schools are taking part.
