RECIPE
Regional Educational Centres in Pedagogical Europe
RECIPE uses qualitative methods of action-research to investigate how schools can best work in partnership with Regional Educational Centers RECs to reduce Early School Leaving (ESL) to below 10% - a Europe 2020 headline target. RECs include a wide range of government departments, municipal education authorities and pedagogical centers providing training and support to local networks of schools within a variety of socio-economic, cultural and educational contexts in five European countries. We focus on how RECs can best meet the training and support needs of teachers and school leaders working with the children and families of a wide range of educationally disadvantaged groups.
