THE STARTING POINT
This project is intended as a follow-up to the ECML project “Quality Assurance and Self-assessment for Schools and Teachers”. There is a growing interest in national and regional contexts for standardisation in areas such as evaluation, approaches to quality control and management. The CD Rom on “Quality Management in Language Education” (outcome of the 1st MTP) provides useful resources for this, and an accompanying guide for trainers and multipliers, would ensure its effectiveness as an instrument for quality assurance.
The main project aims
- To develop a training guide for quality assurance on the basis of the existing CD Rom on Quality Management
- To train multipliers/trainers to set off a cascading process
- To work towards consolidating a quality assurance culture in language education across Europe and beyond
The planned procedure
- Expert meetings and cross-project links with other ECML-projects
- A survey to collect feedback on the applicability of the CD Rom on Quality Management
- Producing the “QualiTraining” Guide
- Regional events for trainer training and a central event for dissemination and piloting
- Updating the project web site
