Dentro le storie di insuccesso formativo. La prospettiva del Dirigente Scolastico

The research, included in the framework of the collaboration between CeRiForm and the school office of Varese, aims to investigate the manifestations of educational poverty, with specific reference to the repercussions on the learning path of students, deepening the knowledge of failure stories. We decided to approach the topic using the perspective of the headmaster and his staff as an access point, in the belief that this vision must constitute the essential starting point for designing "tailor-made" interventions with respect to the reality of each school. The critical analysis of the interviews conducted in 7 schools in the province put in evidence, alongside the natural specificities of the different contexts and directions, some common elements (connection between schools; centrality of orientation; connection between school and educational disadvantage; synergy between school and territory) to take into account for planning coordinated actions in the local territory. Despite the local dimension typical of action-research, the study offers valuable insights from the perspective of transferability
