Teacher Tapp: talking about, but above all with, education
We talk a lot about education. But do we listen enough to the people who stand in front of the class every day? đ©âđ«đ± Researcher StĂ©phanie Vanderheeren and her colleagues launched Teacher Tapp in Flanders for this very purpose. In this free app, more than 1,000 people from the education sector â from teachers to headteachers â answer three short questions every day about classroom practice or current affairs. The app provides a unique insight into what is going on in education and stimulates discussion, from the staff room to parliament.

High time for tools to help with dyslexia and dyscalculia at school
Every class has at least one student with a learning disability such as dyslexia or dyscalculia. Unfortunately, some schools do not always allow these students to use aids such as laptops with reading software or calculators. That is why HOGENT developed âDysparcoursâ, an empathy tool that helps teachers, care coordinators, and parents to better understand what children with learning disabilities experience.
