School competition 2025. Oral exam and simulated lessons for support teachers. Kindergarten, primary and secondary schools of I and II degree

The Volume Oral Test and Simulated Lessons for Support Teachers in Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary Schools, Nld competitions 2025, has been prepared to ensure complete preparation for the oral test of the 2025 School Competition, and is divided into four parts: the first part (Didactic planning for inclusion in Italian schools) illustrates the evolution of the legislation on inclusion in schools, exhaustively exposing the different types of disorders that can be diagnosed in students and the corresponding teaching strategies and compensatory measures. This is followed by an in-depth analysis of the criteria for evaluating learning and certifying student skills, the PEI design methodology (dl1° August 2023 n.153) and the innovations introduced by L. 29 July 2024, n. 106 on the role of the support teacher. The part is completed by the examination of digital compensatory tools for the inclusion of students with special educational needs (speech synthesis, Audiobooks, Mini Audio Books, Concept maps, Scanners with OCR software); the second part (Methodologies and Simulated lesson paths) dedicates a first section to the description of the teaching methodologies and strategies, together with a concise examination of the types of lessons, project-based teaching, as well as the framing of cognitive and learning styles and the teaching setting. Within the second, third and fourth sections, examples of lesson simulations are proposed for aspiring support teachers of nursery, primary and secondary schools. In particular, each lesson is developed according to a grid that highlights the educational and learning objectives, the purposes, the times, the tools, the teaching methodologies and strategies, the systematic observation of the teacher and, lastly, the verification and evaluation. At the beginning of the Section dedicated to Lesson Simulations, a very useful guide to filling out the grid for planning the lesson is included; the third part (English Language Skills Assessment) provides the basis for tackling the assessment of comprehension and conversation skills in English at least at level B2; the fourth part acknowledges the role that digitalization has had in transforming the services provided by schools and in the creation of new tools for interactive teaching (IWB, Tablet, Smartphone, Touch Screen Monitor, E-Book), with a focus on the educational role of social networks. The discussion is completed by an in-depth study of the basic operations and features of Power Point. Finally, the Manual allows access to an online extension that can be consulted with a special password to stay updated on the subjects covered by the exam.
