The overall aim of the project is to develop strategies, methods and materials for evaluation and improvement of quality of school leaders' training courses/programmes and bring them together in a manual. More specific objectives are as follows: to write a comparative study about the existing school leaders' training programmes; to develop evaluation tools for school leaders' programme; to pilot evaluation tools in national settings; to compare results and experiences related to the process of evaluation; to publish a manual about strategies, methods and materials of evaluation; to suggest improvements of school leaders' training programmes at national levels; to disseminate results and the final products; to strengthen European co-operation in the area of school leaders' training.
The main target groups are school leaders' training providers as well as policy makers in partner countries and beyond. The project will be implemented through the following activities: comparative study, research (designing and piloting evaluation tools), evaluation (of programmes and project activities), sharing experiences, producing a manual, national and international reports; suggesting improvements for school leaders' training programmes.
Comparative study will be published on-line. Strategies, tools and methods of evaluation as well as case-study of evaluation will be published in a manual. Results and recommendations will be published in national and international reports.
