Competences of Professional Educators in Europe Comenius Multilateral Project Thematic Field: Teaching professions Institutions involved: Cardinal August Hlond Upper Silesian College Of Pedagogical Education (PL); Bucharest University (RO); Universiteit Twente (NL); University College Jelling / University College Lillebaelt (DK); Bergen University College (NO); Teachers Continuing Education Institution In Gdansk (PL); Casa Corpului Didactic (RO); Universitat De Les Illes Balears (ES); Saxion Hogescholen (NL) Coordinating institution: CEP MANACOR (Spain) Key words: Teacher competences Description: COPE aimed to make a contribution to study the competences of teachers in Europe at the levels of both initial and in-service teacher training. The participants in the project were institutions which provide initial and/or continuing teacher training. The project identified teachers' competences and the corresponding training needs, both current and desired, which was the baseline for developing a first pilot course at a national level in teacher competences, with different designs adapted to each participating country. Drawing from the results and best practices of that experience, the consortium elaborated and conducted an international Comenius course, based on a common design, with teachers from all the partnership's countries, in order to help promote a European education dimension by describing the educational system and sharing situations and experiences regarding multiculturalism and inclusion in the classrooms. It has also produced a matrix of twenty four indicators on teacher competencies adapted to all participating countries/regions. This instrument has been an important asset of the project, since it has influenced many institutions at the time to design local teacher training plans. Teacher materials are available on CD and on the web site, and numerous publications resulted from the project. After the end of the project, COPE has implemented Comenius-Grundtvig teacher training courses to take place in different countries up until 2013. Every partner institution has developed a series of actions, some still taking place, in order to transfer the results and outcomes of the project among students to be teachers, in-service teachers and teacher trainers and academic staff. And therefore because of the wide amount of connections with teachers at schools and universities, headmasters and policy/decision makers have made it possible for the COPE information to spread widely to a very large number of people and different departments involved in education.

Self – evaluation in schools for better education Comenius Multilateral School Partnership Countries involved: IT, DE, UK, CY, GR, PL, TR Key words: Pupil assessment, Leadership, Teacher competences, Teacher reflectivity Description: Self-Evaluation of Schools is very important to raise the quality of learning and lies at the heart of well managed and effective school improvement. It is based on evidence about the standards achieved by pupils, the quality of teaching and the effectiveness of leadership and management. The use of attainment evidence enables head teachers to be more confident in the identification of priorities and targets for improvement. It is also essential to provide the baseline from which progress can be measured, both in terms of previous best and when making comparisons with other schools. The “Comenius Project SELF-EVA” puts the self-evaluation done by the pupils in the centre of its activities. The “SELF-EVA-Project-Team” will test and prove: how selfevaluation done by the pupils will work, how self-evaluation can be done by questionnaires, how self-evaluation can be done and transferred via computers and how self-evaluation will lead to better quality in schools. The outcomes of the project can to be downloaded from the projects portal and distributed on a CD-ROM; more specifically, there is a calendar for pupils, in which on each sheet for each month a specific main topic of self-evaluation is explained, a short handbook in each of the participating schools, how self-evaluation will help during the learning process and how everybody can participate easily, extensive report with a collection of all the materials and questionnaires.
