Started in 1976 by Ferre Laevers at the University of Leuven, the LIS-YC is a process-oriented monitoring system, which provides professionals with a tool for quality assessment of educational settings. It looks at how 'involved' the children are in their work and their 'emotional well-being' allowing professionals to highlight children who may need extra support in the classroom to help each child reach their full potential in terms of learning.
