  1. TIMSIS teacher in-service training materialconcerning pupils with serious and chronic illnessesin both regular and hospital schools

  2. Project History • Primary project – Comenius I:Hospital schools in Genova – Stuttgart – Vienna • Ludwigsburg University of Education • Second project – Comenius II.1 • long phase of planningand search for partners • We lost Vienna, Genova, Granada, but we found Brnó, Helsinki,Mosdos, Oslo and Samara

  3. Project History • Application: March 2004 • Accepted: August 2004 • Official Start: October 2004 • Kick-off Meeting:November 2004 • End of funding:September 2007

  4. Project Partner • In each partner country a hospital school and a university form a team • with two exceptions: Mosdos (Hungary) and Samara (Russia) • possible associated new partnerUniversity of Education inBaja (Hungary)

  5. Justification • Situation of the sick child and her or his family • multifold disadvantages of sick children: • physical and psychic stress • removal from home • family and financial worries • removal from class • loss of social contact to peers • reduced period of instruction • general impairment of education • need of re-integration • Pupils who, because of long or repeated periods of absence or the stress resulting from the illness, have a special need for support

  6. Justification • A lot is being done to ease the situation of the sick child in hospital and in hospital schools. • However, there are shorter periods of hospitalisation. • Things might look different when it comes to re-integration into their homes and home schools • What about the understanding of the class mates? • Do teachers in the home schools know how to handle the situation? • Do teachers of regular schools have at least minimal knowledge about the disease and about the social and psychological situation the sick child is in? • Have they at all been trained to cope appropriately with the situation?

  7. Justification • Since the basic situation cannot be avoided • all steps should be undertaken to ensure a minimum of friction and conflict on reintegration in the school class • it becomes necessary to compensate as far as possible for the obvious disadvantages • This group of pupils tends to be small in number and therefore generally represents individual cases within the school. • Some teachers might never have had a chronically or severely sick child in one of their classes. • However for reasons of equality of treatment and equality of chance this small group should not be neglected.

  8. Target groups • Main target group: teachers of regular schools • Secondary target group: teachers of hospital schools • Parents and families of affected children and adolescents, and the parents of non-affected children and adolescents • Indirect target group:(chronically) sick children

  9. Overall Aims • Primarily focussing on teachers in regular schools it is the aim of the project • to increase the teachers’ professional competence in order to ensure a minimum of friction and conflict on reintegration in the school class • to offer teachers of regular schools quick and comprehensive information on specific illnesses their pupils might suffer from • to help teachers of regular schools to consider the relevant pedagogic and psychological aspects • to improve the necessary co-operation between regular schools and hospital- schools • to increase the teachers’ competence in dealing with sick pupils

  10. Specific Aims • The overall aims shall be attained by • Development of material for information, continued training and teaching, in order to meet the training requirements of teachers regarding supervision, counselling and teaching of these pupils with special pedagogic needs • There will be two sets of disease oriented material (example of student work on dialysis) • Development of a “Virtual clinic” for the use of teachers in class as well as for children
