Immigration has dramatically increased in recent years and meeting and satisfying the demands of a diverse multicultural classroom is taxing educators at all levels of the educational spectrum as well as across Europe and internationally. Towards equity in education, this one day conference - derived from a three year Erasmus+ Project titled: Supporting Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Leadership in Schools -CReLES - consists of a series of research papers, workshops and resources for the enhancement of Leadership, Evaluation strategies and supports for migration background students.

The conference is free to attend and will be of interest to teachers, principals, teacher educators, researchers, Initial Teacher Education students/institutions as well as ministries and directorates of Education.

The conference organising committee (EQI, School of Policy and Practice, DCU Institute of Education, Ireland; School of Education - The Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria;  Department of Teacher Education and School Research - University of Salamanca, Spain) look forward to welcoming you to the event.
