In this section, we will be publishing the results of the assessment procedures applied in the different phases of the project.
Once the training course has been completed in Spain and Portugal in the 2019-2020 academic year, we publish the document that summarises the main results of its assessment.
This summary is published within the WCDL Worksheets collection, which gathers the most singular contributions of the programme in its different areas: research, training, evaluation and mentoring.

«Society and Education, through its Educational Observation and Asessment Department (OyE), has the necessary experience and technical staff to choose the identification strategy most appropriate to assessing this leadership programme and to verify, by questionnaires, discussion groups, observations and visits to pilot schools, whether the intended goals are achieved»
