"After the first QUAL4T project, that focused on quality awareness by individual teachers, it deemed only a small step to a follow-up project named: Further Quality Improvement in European VET, guiding teacher Teams in their strategic planning (QUAL4T2). In QUAL4T2 the project partners aimed to contribute directly to the improvement of outcomes of quality systems in Europe's institutes, by investing in teachers’ professionalization to develop more effectiveness and involvement of teachers/trainers in the quality strategic planning. After evaluation and analyses, as a follow up teams need to set aims and plan actions for further improvement. In the 0-questionnaire teachers stated that they feel they don’t have enough knowledge and tools to write a good year plan, and that often they daubt if they are performing the right actions for the aimed improvement or change. So the project partners started to develop products fitting with the needs of the teacher teams!Quality guide and toolkit for teamsThe guide and tools were first developed in a pilot version, so that they could be tested and improved. After the pilot in the five partner organisations we could conclude that the Quality tools and the guide that we tested, inluenced both the teamculture as the efficiency of the team plan in a positive way! Nevertheless, the partners from Netherlands, Spain, Denmark and Italy asked the teams once more for feedback, and guide and tools have been improved for the final version. The Greek partner desided as an extra to test a number of tools as well, delivering extra input for the final versions. The transnational pilot report gathered all the outcomes of the pilots per partner, and also overall outcomes. SWOT analyses have been included in all partner chapters. The themes for the Qality tools are: A - Working on a quality culture for teams, B - Tools for an effective team year-plan and C - Team plan models. Tools from these theme's are for instance: Lighthouse, Feedback giving, Route to a team plan and Risk analysing. All tools have been published in Word-documents, so that teacher teams have the option to adapt the tools to their own situation.Story book This good practice guide is built up as a story book. In this book, readers travel through five Vocational Education and Training organisations in five European countries (NL, ES, EL, DK and IT) and enjoy the stories gained from teacher teams. Readers learn about the frustrations when something did not go as well expected… Share the euphoria when a success was reached… Enjoy these precious stories in which teams really move forward to further excellence in Vocational Education and Training! The Story Book includes many pictures of teams in action. It provides easy to read experiences, and may help other teams in Europe in their travel towards a good team plan.Training programmeFinally a five day transnational training programme took place in Rome, for a mixed group of partners' staff, thus preparing the participants to be ambassadors for the project after the project ends. All participants in the training event found the project results very relevant for their work. Some were less experienced and they were very happy with the training. Even the more experienced mentioned that they found very useful the exchange and they learned about new tools to implement in their quality assurance system. Based on the revised training, a program was developed that is available online for all EU schools or training centres. Like all the final products the training program options have been published on the website www.qual4t-project.org free for use. But also through the EACEA disseminiation platform, European schoolgateway and websites as EQAVET and EfVET the project products can be found.EvaluationThe project meetings and the project process and products were all evaluated with the aim to further improve after reflection of the previous period. One partner testimonial in the latest evaluation: ""In this final semester of the project it is possible to reflect on the reactions of the target group. It is difficult to score the Quality guide, as this guide is integrated in the explanation of the three themes of the Qualty tools. The tools are the real documents that teams use, and with the explanation of the guide the combination is very effective. This is the same for the Story Book, being a red line in workshops, integrating tools where needed, depending on the target groups. In the end, we always return to the office empty handed, while we took extra hard copies with us to workshops… ImpactIn all partner organisations a sustainable impact has shown. Besided this, also expected impact is shown on national level. The seven Multiplier Events prommiss good mainstreaming after the project life time and a new transnational training has been planned for 2020! Altogether QUAL4T2 project helped to make VET a bit more attractive!"
