Innopeda Quality Handbook

Abstract

This handbook presents the overall approach for implementing innovation pedagogy as a pedagogical strategy in educational institutions. The handbook describes the main principles of innovation pedagogy that can be used as a tool when making a change in an educational institution. The change is needed, because traditional educational approaches no longer can lead to the competences required in the changing world for a sustainable future. The change can start from training teachers in the implementation of new teaching approach, or be more holistic, i.e., by implementing the strategic approach at the level of the whole institution for a more profound change. The holistic change and verification of the change through audit can lead to the certification of Certified Innopeda® School. Innopeda Quality Handbook is a tool for educational institutions, especially for their managers, teachers and education planners, for evaluating their processes, implementing the approaches of innovation pedagogy, and designing a development process for ensuring the quality and development of innovation pedagogy. Innovation pedagogy can provide tools for the change in all levels of education. The chapters of this handbook follow the common practice of quality work. The handbook includes templates that can help an institution in its quality assurance process regarding the implementation of innovation pedagogy.
