4 Executive Summary Schools have to change in order to adapt themselves in changing environment and to bring up students for knowledge based society. However some schools are losing students because they are considered unsuccessful by parents and society. It is a well known fact that school managers who are capable of adapting schools into changing environment and who are equipped with good leadership characteristics are the main components of an effective school. The PRO-SCHOOL project intended to provide tools to make schools better and more productive environments by developing a new school management methodology: project-based school management. The PRO-SCHOOL project started on 1 st of December The kick-off meeting took place in İzmir, Turkey. The aim of the project was to develop a new school management methodology for high schools based on the project based management method. The project partners are organizations that are directly related with school management and education. Menderes Town National Education Directorate and Brasov County School Inspectorate are regional and local educational authorities, National Agency for the Development of School Autonomy Regional Branch for Lombardy is experienced in teacher training and school management. Other partners are three respectable universities from different EU countries University of Peloponnhsos (GR), Transilvania University of Brasov (RO) and University College Ghent (BE). The project started with the research on school management approaches and effective school indicators in partner countries. Six national research reports and a comparative report both in English and in national languages prepared and made available for target groups through project web site. School managers in-service training needs are also investigated during this research phase. Partners prepared in-service training course content for school managers based on these research results. A book containing project-based school management methodology and training curriculum as well as training modules prepared and published both in English and in six national languages. These books are distributed to the target groups and used during the Comenius in-service training which took place in İzmir, between September 26 th through October 1 st LLP TR-COMENIUS-CMP 4 / 16

6 1. Project Objectives The overall aim of the project was to develop a school management methodology which is applicable to high schools in all partner countries and to improve the effectiveness of schools according to demands of the knowledge based society. The specific objectives were: 1. To provide a new management methodology for school managers to improve their management skills and competences, 2. To develop innovative methods and materials for school management, 3. To contribute and support the implementation of in-service training methods and practices for school managers, 4. To highlight and disseminate examples of best practices in school management and the project s results across Europe. A series of activities are undertaken in order to achieve these objectives and to address the specific needs of the target groups. Partners conducted a research on indicators of effective schools according to school managers, parents and teachers. Second research has been conducted to investigate the in-service training needs of the school managers. Then a new school management method is developed integrating the results of the research. Educational materials developed during the project include a training curriculum for high schools managers and training methodology for project based school management. The educational materials developed are tested in national training sessions and total 154 school managers participated in local training activities conducted by the partners. In the end the results are exploited in a Comenius in-service training course involving 19 school managers from different European countries. Project s outputs are disseminated on local, regional and European level during the project, using internet channels, massmedia, personal contacts and participation in specific events. We believe that through these activities school managers and other managerial staffs management skills are improved and this will lead the improvement in schools success, consequently LLP TR-COMENIUS-CMP 6 / 16
7 2. Project Approach The strategy of the project is based on the logic of adapting Project Based Management Approach and tools to school management. In the first year of the project partners conducted a research on the perception of parents, teachers and managers related to effective school indicators and on the training needs of school managers. The results of the research phase offered a general picture of school effectiveness criteria and in-service training needs of school managers in partner countries. The situation of in-service training needs of school managers also constituted the starting point for the definition of basic specifications for the elaboration of the educational materials. Target groups continued to be involved in the elaboration phase also, as they are invited in the second year of the project to test and evaluate the intermediary versions of the educational materials, during local seminars. The results of those tests are further integrated into the materials, to address as close as possible the training needs of the managers. Project outputs are exploited inside the consortium of the project, as the research reports resulting from the first phase of the project constituted the base for defining the specifications and for the development of a series of educational materials. The exploitation of project results are realized in this way: the research reports are disseminated to the largest possible number of people educational professionals, researchers in the field of education, decision makers of local and national level, European networks and associations of professionals LLP TR-COMENIUS-CMP 7 / 16
8 Internet was an important channel for dissemination and the main tool, without being the only one, is the project website, where information about project activities are regularly published and visitors have access to project outputs. The project website will be maintained by coordinating organization after the project is finalized. Another way of ensuring the sustainability of project outputs was to gather them in one publication, so that target groups to have access to materials both in electronic format and hard copies. The materials are prepared in English and also translated in the national languages of partner organizations. Presentation of project objectives and outputs in local and international events dedicated to educational managers took place within the project. In the last project phase the results are exploited in a Comenius in-service training involving 19 school managers from different European countries. The Comenius course held in Izmir, Turkey LLP TR-COMENIUS-CMP 8 / 16
9 3. Project Outcomes & Results First outcomes of this project were national research reports by the project partners conducted at local, regional or national level. The qualitative part of the research provides information about national education systems and effective school indicators according to national laws and regulations. During the quantitative part of the research a collective list of school effectiveness indicators presented to the parents, teachers and school managers and asked their opinions about the importance of these indicators. The second outcome was a comparative report on effective school indicators and in-service training needs of school managers which is intended to give the possibility to compare the contexts from 6 countries - Turkey, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Romania and Czech Republic. The research involved secondary schools in partner countries. The final research report has been successfully delivered with the participation of 683 people. A list of indicators for school effectiveness and a set of issues that could be used to prepare an international in-service training course for school managers included in questionnaire. School managers of partner countries consider that education and training is the area that they need to be trained in; so they think this is the most important mission of the school. The next thematic areas they mentioned as relevant were school management and planning and financial aspects. The aspects connected with social life, physical conditions of the schools and relations with environment were considered less relevant by school managers for their training. (These reports are available in project web site: ) Another outcome includes Project-Based School Management Methodology and a training curriculum prepared to be used during the in-service trainings of school managers. The partners have developed several modules for training curriculum which includes: Lifecycle of the project LLP TR-COMENIUS-CMP 9 / 16
