This training program is designed for teaching staff and school leaders aiming to deepen their knowledge of planning and evaluation systems in educational contexts. The course covers quantitative and qualitative research approaches to understanding them comprehensively. The primary objective is to equip participants with essential tools, methodologies, and validation practices for effective school planning.   The training activities are structured to transfer practical know-how and develop skills necessary for setting up didactic planning and evaluation based on competencies. The program encompasses theoretical and practical sessions covering various school planning and evaluation aspects.   Key topics include an introduction to the school evaluation system, emphasising performance, indicators, and results. A practical example is presented using the Italian school system to illustrate these concepts. The training also explores methodologies and techniques for teaching planning, guiding participants on planning educational paths and interpreting information for evaluation and planning purposes.   Competency development and competency-based teaching are integral components, providing insights into identifying, building, and evaluating competencies. The program delves into qualitative and quantitative research methods, extending to observation, case studies, action research, and focus groups. These research methods are explored as tools to enhance school planning and evaluation.   Furthermore, the training covers the development of performance evidence and guiding participants in creating tools, strategies, and quality indicators. It also includes practical guidance on designing surveys and monitoring sheets/grids for effective assessment. In brief, the training aims to empower participants with a holistic understanding of planning and evaluation systems, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical skills for application in real-world educational settings.
