The Centre for Diversity & Learning (CDL) is a unique research unit at UGent that combines research, instrument development and training for practitioners. Our mission is to
consistently translate our research insights into tools and coaching that empowers practitioners in creating inclusive education. Inclusive education refers to education systems that
provide quality education for all students. Recently we validated DISCO, a survey instrument that maps the diversity competencies of teachers. Various municipalities have already
successfully started working with DISCO in collaboration with SDL, whereby school teams fill out DISCO via an accessible website, receive a feedback report and participate in
coaching sessions. In collaboration with the Societal Valorization (MV) fund, we are optimizing the feedback system, looking at the possibility of expanding the feedback format with a pre-post design; and optimizing the feedback report with evidence-based practice suggestions and user-friendly explanations and visualizations
