The training unit (TU), developed in the Pestalozzi Programme in the Education for the prevention of discrimination (DISC) module, consists of three activities, including an assessment session for a group of 24 participants.
The intentional or unintentional labelling of pupils by the teacher in an educational practice is considered discrimination. It needs to be recognised that quality education takes place in an inclusive classroom where every pupil has an equal chance for learning and development.
Labelling can be very dangerous as it goes against the main goal of an inclusive education – that every pupil must be given the same chance. The goal of this TU is to underline the traps that teachers fall into during everyday practice.
