27 May-1Jun, Lisbon: Educational Quality.

Are you an educational leader or involved in educational innovation for primary, secondary or adult education?
Would you be interested in further developing your leadership competencies? Would you like to be able to apply a coherent set of strategies for improving the quality of your school or centre for adult education and would you like to turn it into a learning organisation?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then why don’t you come and join a challenging international seminar in a stimulating environment?

During the course you will learn about educational quality, quality management in education using the  Appreciative Inquiry Method, methods for (self-)evaluation, how to prioritise and write an action plan, team dynamics and communication and  editing your own plan for quality management.

Introducing educational quality, we emphasize two important axes:

-        the appreciative approach towards staff and co-operators.

You can request an EU Comenius or Grundtvig grant from your national agency which will allow you to attend this seminar for free.  Course fee: € 1 360 covering tuition (€ 750) and full board accommodation (€ 610).
