Povertà educativa, svantaggio culturale e inclusione sociale dentro e fuori la scuola : sviluppo professionale degli insegnanti e ricerca-formazione nell'era post-Covid

Educational poverty and socio-economic, linguistic and cultural disadvantage are multidimensional concepts and refer to numerous areas of deprivation concerning the individual and the socio-economic context in which s/he is placed.

The initial phase of the project presented in this article involved over 1,300 students in five different urban Italian schools to analyse constraints and opportunities of the school contexts selected and to design tailored Research-Based Professional Development interventions. [Publisher's Text].
