Language acquisition is the most relevant aspect of school-based learning. It is the task of every school with diverse language backgrounds to get the most from their educational setting for their students. Not only the individual teachers' efforts but also a systemic, well-planned whole-school strategy is necessary. During the event, school-teams (head teacher and one or two teachers) from the provinces of Oberösterreich, Salzburg and Burgenland with the help of professional support reflected on the possibilities to further develop their schools. They were introduced to the data-based school development tool, Roadmap. They planned the next steps and could network with each other and also with school consultants from their region.
