Cases

Individualized Education Plan

As part of the Association for the Development of Inclusive Society, we identified the challenges faced by teachers in general education schools and conducted a training program on "Creating an Individualized Curriculum Based on the Special Educational Needs of Students." We trained 33 teachers and provided post-training support.The project was funded by the NU Impact Foundation.

ERG tutor

In partnership with Teach for Kazakhstan, we conducted a training session for teachers on the ERG mektep project on inclusion and diversity. Weplaced a special emphasis on practical training: teachers analyzed case studies, learned about working methods, and even created their own inclusive space. It was especially valuable that in their feedback, teachers emphasized the practicality of the topic itself, as well as the proposed approaches, and noted that they plan to implement them in their work now.We believe that change begins with small steps. And for teachers, this step always begins in the classroom—it is there that a culture of respect, acceptance, and support is formed, where every child feels valued and important.
