The project will deal with the improvement of staff members' competence levels in working with students with different types of disabilities as well as with improving the tolerance level of mainstream students in accepting students with disabilities (inclusion). There will be 5 major participants in the program, who will act as learning providers for the rest of the staff members (30 staff members in total). The participants chosen are staff members either already working with children with special needs or are mainstream teachers who would like to be able to offer more to their students who have special educational or other needs. Upon each course completion, there will be staff meetings during which, the participants will present the learning outcomes of the courses. In addition, lessons will be available for other staff members to observe, in order to have hands on experience of all the new teaching methods acquired by the participants from the training courses.
