Case studies
3.3.1 Shoulder to shoulder
TAKEV Schools, including preschool, primary,
secondary and high school provides an education
to students between 3-18 ages. In such a
continuous institution, educational workshops
and trainings are needed for every teacher in all
levels. The most important one is behavioural
training that is implemented regularly from lower
to higher levels. The feeling of belonging and the
spirit of teamwork gain importance from very
early age with the synergy of togetherness of
parents, students and school members. Every year
before the academic year starts various kind of
teacher training is started. A few of samples are
mentioned below.
The name of the project is called “Shoulder to
Shoulder”.
It should be emphasised that the process should
be successful with the effective participation of
each person and each level.
Philosophy of TAKEV Schools –
“Knowledge is universal”
TAKEV Schools which have a vital role in social
constructions should show the tendency to meet
the basic needs of the individual or the families.
When a child first meets the school, from kinder
garden on, the whole dynamics of the family
changes or reconstructs itself because of this
situation. What is important from the point of
TAKEV Schools is to make the working groupswhich first include the child then the family- a part
of daily life by the help of overall and conceptual
applications.
With the understanding of a team-mate feeling
rather then questioning or judging, appliances
which involve parents and make them say “my
school” may help the families to create their own
Positive approach may not always result positively
in academic performance. For that reason,
elimination means ignoring the personal
differences. The children with all they can do and
cannot do are and will be the actors of that social
structure.

space in that social unit and may help the child to
stimulate the urge to learn.
When the family becomes a part of the activities
in TAKEV School, they will give more importance
to the process concerning their own child who
will have a social bond with the society in the
future.
We are a social but also an emotional
organization.
In order to involve all the parents-from kinder
garden to high school- into this process you
should make them organize and take part in the
activities where their children perform their skills
and achievements and give them the feeling of
unity.
The support of the parents is essential for the
positive improvement of this process and this
may only be done by the involvement of the
parents. The management of this involvement,
making it compatible to the target can be
achieved by team spirit.
The most effective way to bring the parents to
school and to make them active participants is to
have more activities and shows for the children.
Parents would surely come to see the work that
their children has worked on and performed at
school.
If you want the rabbit run, you have to put
a carrot …
In order to have the participation of the parents
TAKEV Schools have been using many of the
effective activities and methods in accordance
with the values and targets mentioned above.

Finding out about the characteristics of family
life and parents attitude:
• "Explain what parents should do for the
education of their children?"
• "Do you support the education of your child
at home? On what subjects?"
• "What type of punishment should be used if
the child shows a negative behavior?"
• "Are there any qualities about your child that
you found difficult to cope with and what are
they?"
• "What kind of qualities should the teachers
have who take part in the education of your
children?”
Implementation
As it is pointed in our presentation, every
month/year our activities and workshops are
regularly announced with the bulletins and
information letters. Moreover, workshops which
harden and firm the concept of education and
teamwork are executed by external experts or
our school own PR service through the needs of
the parents or our staff.

Evaluation
Schools are the most important social
organization in a system. Schools are the
constructions which shelter children, families,
teachers and all the staff in it. They manage to
educate and guide the individuals who will point
out the future and shape social dynamics
professionals. Whilst doing this an intensive and
delicate endeavour which absorbs each and every
component actively and voluntarily is needed in
the process.
All the workshops which are done and developed
each and every year are the signs and the
evidence of the achievement of TAKEV Schools.

Evaluation: Teaching Tolerance
Target group
How tolerant are the teachers/students/parents?
How tolerant should the TAKEV teachers/
students/parents be?
Trainee teachers (10 participants) and teachers
(about 80 participants)
Students (52 participants)
Parents
A school that has a 9-year-old history should teach
the teachers to fulfil the mission, the vision and
the system of the school and should provide them
with the means to internalize and sense that
mission in order to teach it to the students.
Tolerance is a relative concept that should be
standardized in an institutional perspective.
However, the teacher should also be openminded, aware of the material (student) and upto-date and of course know the culture of the
social group.
By outlining this frame, we are aiming to create
individuals (teachers) that are going to show their
tolerance in their careers in the most effective and
accepted point of view.
After each activity, the outcome and the
evaluation is shared with parents in a related
occasional meeting. Parents always love hearing
about the features of their children from
somebody else.

Aims
• creating awareness of how tolerant they are,
• developing and sharing the mission, the vision
and the rules of the institution,
Implementation
Teaching Methods and Students’ Activities
School is the next social environment that the
child faces after his/her family. Through the
developmental process, the most important
ability that is expected from a child is having
healthy communication skills in his/her social life.
However, busy and tiring life standards are
reducing the positive effects and tolerance limits
of the parents eventually. In these circumstances,
this duty is expected to be done and developed
byschools and educational institutions. Moreover,
schools where the problems occur are the places
where they have to be solved as well.
Involve Parents – Improve School
Annex 1
“Discovering differences …”
Workshop for students (2nd-3rd-7th grades)
Aim
• being aware of and agreeing on the harmony
and richness that is created by different
qualities and abilities
• creating useful communication skills
• creating a sense of belonging in a group
• developing self-confidence with the help of
listening and being listened to
Just before the first gathering with the parents of
the young learners, the Activity is completed; the
visual outcome (posters, photograph, video
record ...) is prepared and is shared later on with
parents. Through the year, with the help of the
activities, parents will have the opportunity to
observe the achievements of their children.
Activity 1 “Being a Fish”– 40 mins. x 4
Each student chooses a specific fish that he/she
wants to be, draws the picture of it on cardboard,
colours it, writes the characteristics of his/her own
in below and cuts the shape out. With the help of
the teacher students make a big aquarium full of
different kinds of fish that symbolise their
personalities. (a video record is in related)
Activity 2 “No Rules Village”– 40 mins.
Teacher reads a story named “No Rules Village”
and invites the students to imagine the chaos. By
finding the appropriate rule formulations, the
students make “a rule” chart for their own
classroom. The rules are discussed and evaluated
when it is needed.
Activity 3 “Magic Store”– 40 mins.
The teacher wants the students to go to the magic
store that sells positive characteristics. This
Activity develops the awareness of moral notions
that the students lack.
Activity 4 “Bert and Bernie”– 40 mins.
The teacher chooses two volunteers and wants
them to talk about something that is very
important to them. Meanwhile, other students are
told to go on chatting in between. This exercise
emphasises the importance of listening to the
others.
Activity 5 “Are We a Team?”– 20 mins. x 3
Teachers and students discuss about the effects of
their misbehaviour. Letting the students list them
on the board help them to face the problems. This
time, students are asked to find a solution for each
problem. At the end of the Activity the students
agree on the result that positive behaviours affect
academic performance in a positive way.
This is a classroom Activity and each student is
expected to be in the process.

Involve Parents – Improve School
In the plenary work programme above,
communication in between (teacher-teacher,
teacher-student, teacher-parents ...) is pointed
out. Some examples from parents-teachers
meetings are discussed, evaluated and acted out
on stage – in order to focus on a good support of
a successful teacher while having a meeting with
a father and mother and see how a conflict turns
into a positive and friendly sharing at the end.
(watch the video record of it once again)
The practice programme above is prepared for
TAKEV teachers to inform them about the current
academic changes, to schedule the time for their
paperwork and create a teacher training period
for the coming academic year.
This is also very helpful to integrate the new
comer teachers and develop a united, institutional
vision and mission among the participants that
have different professional and cultural
backgrounds. For that reason, starting with a
warm and friendly prologue by every participant
provides a positive group dynamic.
During the course, some of the most important
aspects are;
• to create a positive atmosphere for everyone to
get involved in the process
• to create a common vision and language
among themselves and with students/parents
• to be aware of the importance of institutional
mission
Ways of informing parents and teachers at
Takev
• Monthly bulletins
• yearly calendar
• handbook (teacher’s/parent and student’s)
• job descriptions
• summer seminar plan (preliminary work for
teachers for the coming academic year)
• communication forms used among the school
staff
• photographs
• video records
