Leeds

Please provide a short presentation of your organisation (key activities, affiliations etc...) relating to the domain covered by the project
The University of Leeds is a research-intensive university which strives to create, advance and disseminate knowledge, develop outstanding graduates and scholars and to make a major impact upon global society. The standard of excellence to which it aspires implies undertaking research of international quality which makes a real difference to knowledge, its application and the way in which society thinks and functions. In addition to its well-deserved research reputation, the University has a strong reputation and well-developed capability for enabling enterprise and knowledge transfer activity.

The staff of the School of Education represent a substantial pool of research and teaching expertise who seek to share this as widely as possible with external groups, through offering services in the areas of both theoretical and applied research, consultancies and advice, evaluation projects, as well as training, workshops and bespoke courses, in the UK and worldwide.

Please describe the role of the organisation in the project
Leads WP9 Quality and Evaluation. Each major event and deliverable will be evaluated, with effort for evaluation being spread throughout the project. The project will have a strong formative element, which will be reported in an interim evaluation report after Year 1. Use will also be made of the evaluator's specialist input on education in developing countries and teacher training.

Contributes to WP1 Project Management. The evaluator will be present at the twice-yearly project meetings and also at the twice-yearly International Advisory Committee meetings.
