Description:
The rationale behind the project was that increased management abilities of school
managers will improve the effectiveness of schools, effective schools will bring up
more successful students and successful students will be a contribution to society.
Therefore, PRO-SCHOOL project intended to provide tools to make schools better and
more productive environments by developing a new school management methodology
and project-based school management.
The project produced six national research reports (TR, IT, GR, BE, RO, CZ) and a
comparative report on school management approaches and effective school
indicators in partner countries (available in English and in national languages) plus
additional research on school managers' in-service training needs.
Furthermore, it developed contents/curriculum elements for in-service training for
school managers, based on these research results. The project resulted in a training
course for school managers.
A book on project-based school management methodology and training curriculum
as well as training modules (in 7 languages) were distributed to target groups and
used in a Comenius In-service training course.
