Course evaluation questionnaire

After the training courses organised in Turkey, Romania and Austria the partners have carried out an online questionnaire in order to evaluate the training path and the educational material created. In Denmark as qualitative focus group interviews. Overall 142 teachers, 187 students and 79 parents were involved in the course evaluation. The results were very positive. All the aspects of the courses were evaluated very well by the respondents. The courses were relevant for the daily practice of the participants and useful to improve the relationships between school, family and community.

Piloting training courses

Different training courses based on the three handbooks on “Social Values”, “Communication” and “Intercultural training” have been carried out in some partner countries. In Romania 140 teachers and parents were

involved in the training course entitled

“Strategies to Strengthen the School-Family-

Community Relationship”. The course was

approved by the Romanian Ministry of

Education and implemented through the

Teaching Staff Resource Center. In Turkey, one

group of teachers has finished the training

course. Other training courses are starting in the

different partner countries. In Denmark, the

focus has been on 4 pilot workshops with

parents and teachers building strong

relationship between school and family towards

inclusion based on excerpts from the

handbooks.
