This manual contains the full training programmes developed by the INSCOOL II consortium as well as
practical ideas for organising and implementing the trainings in your own context. The training development was based on an analysis of existing inspiring practices, focus groups organised in Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom with the participation of active school leaders, teachers and pre-service teachers, as well as guidance given by advocacy groups in the countries listed above. The manual is primarily designed to support peer-training, especially for those who already participated at an Inscool II training to deliver the same programme in their own school, upscaling and mainstreaming the training as well as the approach this programme pursues.

The training for school leaders was specifically designed for supporting them in leading for inclusion. It will focuses on key knowledge about inclusive education, competences related to leading inclusive schools, and conditions and methodologies that support school leaders to develop inclusive schools (for example mentoring, coaching and networks).

The training for school teachers contain knowledge about inclusive education and inclusive pedagogies, and competences related to implementing inclusive pedagogies in the classroom. The course encourages action research and contains activities in order that participants motivated and supported to try out inclusive pedagogies in a collaborative way that promotes reflective practice. This last element is also supported by the activities included in the Inscool II online training that can be used as a continuation or extension of the current training.

Pre-service teachers can also benefit from the training designed for teachers, based on their experiences as school students and during their teaching practice.
