9 Meeting of the ESF Thematic Network on Learning and Skills 27 9th meeting of the ESF Thematic Network on Learning and Skills 27-28 November 2018, Lisbon Minutes Summary The 9th meeting of the ESF (European Social Fund) Transnational Thematic Network on Learning and Skills took place on 27th and 28th November in Lisbon, Portugal, and was hosted by POCH (Portuguese Human Capital Operational Programme), ESF Managing Authority. The network had a closer look at how the ESF is being used by Portuguese authorities for programmes and projects aiming to support labour integration and social inclusion through education and training with ICT (Information and Communication Technology) tools, focusing on Digital Skills. On the first day participants visited a ‘Qualifica Centre’, an education and training service for adults established by ANQEP (Portuguese National Agency for Qualification), to learn more about the ‘Digital Skills Passport’ targeting elderly, socially disadvantaged, low-skilled and unemployed citizens. An intensive working session was dedicated to choosing the most relevant ESF projects to support the Digital Skills publication to be released at the beginning of 2019. ANQEP also gave a very interesting presentation of the national validation system of prior learning in Portugal, much appreciated by the majority of the ESF MA currently developing their own system. The first day meeting ended with a presentation of the ESF Human Capital OP. The second day of the meeting took place in Casa do Impacto, a former convent transformed into a hub for socially innovative entrepreneurs. The Portugal Social Innovation Mission Structure (EMPIS) gave the floor to 10 innovative ESF funded projects. All the projects are using ICT or other means of innovative communication methodologies in order to address the needs of different social groups, mostly children and people with disabilities, and are thus closely linked with new ways of learning and developing skills. Action Points • Members of the network update information about the National Digital Skills Agenda and/or Digital Skills national policies, to provide an introductory panorama of the “Digital Skills in practice” publication • Members of the network finalize projects examples and structure the main messages to illustrate 2 sections of the ‘Digital Skills in practice’ publication: citizens and labour force. • The network wishes to organize two workshops in the coming months, on 2 topics: Dual system/work-based learning and National systems for recognition and validation of qualifications. • Next meeting will take place in 14-15 February 2019 in Luxembourg.

ESF post 2020 Maeva Roulette gave an update on recent developments related to the proposal for the ESF+ in the 2021-2027 programming period. Negotiations on the ESF+ Regulations in the European Parliament and in the Council are ongoing. European Parliament’s Employment and Social Affairs Committee plans to approve its amendments to the ESF+ Regulations in December. Their amendments foresee the increase of the budget, more focus on children (Children Guarantee), more focus on youth employment (allocation of 15%), capacity building for the involvement of social partners (2% of allocation), and the increase of the budget for FEAD. There are no significant changes in the field of learning and skills. The vote by the European Parliament’s EMPL Committee took place on 3rd December. Find more documents (Proposal of the European Parliament and the Council, Proposed amendments and opinions of the Members of the Parliament) discussed on 3rd December here (under section 13). The Council of the EU formed 8 thematic blocks for negotiations on the Common Provisions Regulations. Under Austrian Presidency 2 thematic blocks were covered and the agreement should be reached by 30th November 2018. There are no changes in the field of transnational cooperation. For now, transnational cooperation remains under direct management (managed by the European Commission). Armelle Ledan: Social Innovation Community (SIC) issued the Lisbon Social Innovation Declaration and formed an Action Group on ESF+. The Declaration gives recommendations on how to better implement Social Innovation with the use of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF). Life-long Learning Platform: In the next programming period the plan is to make synergies between Erasmus+ and European Structural and Investment Funds. There are 3 strategies foreseen to facilitate this process: 1. Coordination between Erasmus+ and European Structural and Investment Funds Managing Authorities that will be managed by the European Commission (5% of the ESF and of the European Regional Development Fund should be dedicated to upskilling of Erasmus+ projects). 2. One project will be able to get funding from ESIF and Erasmus+. Through Seal of Excellence (quality label awarded for Horizon 2020 projects that didn’t receive funding due to budget restrictions) funding will be available for projects connecting ESIF and Erasmus+. 1.2. Sharing of relevant information between the members on National Digital Skills Agenda/Coalition and the Policy Brief on Digital Skills Members of the network were asked to share information by answering the following questions: • When and how did you contact the National Digital Skills Agenda/Coalition in your Member State? • Did you sent/present the Policy Brief to the contact points for National Digital Skills Agenda/Coalition? • What are the results (or expected results)? Portugal: ANQEP is monitoring the national Skills Agenda. There is an InCode.2030 Initiative that promotes inclusion and qualification in digital skills. Luxembourg: In 2013 the Digital Luxembourg Group was launched that involves experts from different ministries and other sectors working on digital skills and digitalization. The government also put in place a Digital Skills Database. Hungary: There is an umbrella strategy on digital skills ‘Digital Success’ that is putting in place ‘Digital Success Points’ (study points for citizens in a range of 30 kilometers). Digital 2 Coalition has been renewed. ESCO (EU Skills and Competences database) is existing also in Hungarian language. Finland: The infrastructure for education and training on digital skills is fully developed. There are mostly small-scale projects on digital skills for immigrants. Skills Summit will be organized during the next presidency of Finland to the EU (23-24 September 2019). Maeva Roulette will check about the European Commission’s pilot project on training and skills. 2. Portuguese context: Qualifica Centre, Digital Skills Passport Programme, The National Qualification System, Human Capital Operational Programme 2.1. Study visit to ‘Qualifica Centre’ The network visited a Programme of Inclusion and Digital Literacy that is being organized by ‘Qualifica Centre’, a training centre for adults. The students of different ages and from different backgrounds (elderly, job-seekers, etc.) were in a course called Digital Skills Passport (which was presented to the network later on). This course covers 10 digital skills and each skill is being covered in 1 week. The course is focusing on the practical and every- day use of digital tools – for example, practical exercise on how to use mobile applications by using ‘My City Street’ application (application created by the Lisbon City Council as part of Digital Citizenship that encourages citizens to take photos of areas or objects in need of public works). 2.2. Digital Skills Passport Programme Presentation: https://ec.europa.eu/esf/transnationality/filedepot_download/2610/2090 (copy link to browser) Helder Touças from Qualifica Centre presented the methodology for learning in Digital Skills Passport Programme. The Programme was developed due to Portuguese context in which 52% of population doesn’t have basic digital skills (70% of them come from disadvantaged social groups) and 29% is not using internet. The Programme has three main learning goals: digital citizenship, online safety, and exploration of interests. The methodology used in the programme is based on 6 principles: connected learning (learning from peers and social networks), gamification (learning as a game – for example, the use of ‘micro certificates’ in the form of badges for completion of tasks), open badges developed by Mozilla Foundation (digital badges containing data on which skill did the student receive training, where did the training took place, etc), ontological self-narrative (empowering element enabling the recognition of personal value of learning), experimental learning (learning based on experiences from every-day life), and critical consciousness (how to use the learning to change the society). The programme was developed in a reference to DigComp (EU framework for digital skills), KSF ICT B3 (Portuguese framework for ICT skills), and LIDIA Project (international project led by University of Lisbon on digital inclusion for adults). In the programme only free online tools are being used, data storing and sharing is cloud- based, and the way of working is collaborative. Every activity in the class follows personalized approach based on defined learning objectives that are put forward by each student. The courses are free of charges for participants and are funded by the municipality (Portuguese Human Capital Operational Programme (POCH) is funding Qualifica Centres in the regions North Centre and Alentejo; in Lisbon and

  • A HISTORICAL STUDY of HANDWRITING and DRAWING By
    THE HANDS OF JOHANNES WHISLER: A HISTORICAL STUDY OF HANDWRITING AND DRAWING by Matthew Capezzuto Dissertation Committee: Professor Judith M. Burton, Sponsor Professor Michael Hanchett Hanson Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date February 10, 2021 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT THE HANDS OF JOHANNES WHISLER: A HISTORICAL STUDY OF HANDWRITING AND DRAWING Matthew Capezzuto The Book of Arithmetic Problems of Johannes Whisler (1814-1815), a mathematics exercise book in the collection of the American Folk Art Museum in New York City, is the central object of this study. This handwritten and illuminated book, created by a young Pennsylvania German man in the early 19th century, prompts a reevaluation of handwriting and doodling, with implications for the present era. The author documents the biographical and sociocultural circumstances surrounding the creation of Whisler’s cyphering book through primary and secondary historical research and applies Glăveanu’s theory of distributed creativity to describe the book as a creative process that emerged among people and objects, and across time. As direct indices of immediate actions, handwriting and doodling emerge in moment-to-moment action, even as these actions are embedded in longer periods of developmental and historical change; the author documents Whisler’s handwriting flourishes and doodles and describes the particular qualities of these mark making activities with reference to the sociocultural context in which they appear, Werner’s theories regarding the physiognomic perception of symbols, and Stern’s theory of vitality forms.

Our objective was to create and test a handmade tactile book for blind students who were attending the first cycle of elementary school. This book was presented to the art teacher and her five congenic blind kids during three workshops. Three questionnaires were applied to evaluate to explore the images and use geometric figures in the most diverse contexts in the Visual Arts class. The tactile book produced was named The Art in Forms. This book allowed students to read in the Braille System and haptically and might contribute to the inclusion of a visually impaired student in the artistic field of paintings made by great artists such as Kandinsky. Keywords: diversity; inclusion; questionnaire; workshop 1. Introduction In this context, it is imperative that Kandinsky's paintings must be known or recognized by students in art education Tactile books are generally used to promote the development classes.

  • Model for Special Education
    Model for Special Education Provision of Special Education Programs and Services within Toronto Catholic District School Board Philosophy of Special Services “Our commitment is to every student. This means ...[ensuring] that we develop strategies to help every student learn, no matter their personal circumstances.” -Reach Every Student: Energizing Ontario Education, 2008 In partnership with families, the parish and the community, our Catholic education system is directed at developing the full spiritual, physical, academic, cognitive, social and emotional wellbeing of each student. Through their learning experiences, students develop a sense of self-worth and dignity as people of God and are able to make a useful contribution in a complex and changing society. Inherent in these beliefs is the recognition that all students, regardless of exceptionality, are entitled to education in the most enabling environment. The exceptional student is a unique child of God and has a right to be part of the mainstream of education, to the extent to which it is practical and beneficial. In order to provide an education in the most enabling environment, TCDSB advocates the principle of inclusion as part of a continuum of services/programs which includes modification of the regular class program, withdrawal, intensive support programs, itinerant services and alternative curriculum where required. “...The integrity of Catholic education does not and cannot rest solely on the shoulders of a few individuals or belong only to certain groups of people...” “We are bound together by a common faith and in common service.” -Fulfilling the Promise (Pp. 6-7) “Only by helping every student reach his or her potential can we hope to close the achievement gap between groups of students.” -Learning for All, 2013 (p.12) Inclusion of students with special educational needs in our schools can be summed up in the following quote: “We invite you to become active participants in the process of Catholic Education.
