[Assam] [Iepgraduates-list] 2008 Quality in Education Seminar at Harvard GSE

[umesh sharma]

anyone from Assam or rest of Indian govt ministries interested?

I have attended one of these programs for Free - as a graduating student whose classmates were part of the organizing body -- really useful. I learned quite a few new things - such as how to rank organizations, how Scottish education system is going for ISO 9000 certification for Total Quality Management etc.

 Dear Alum:

As a Harvard graduate, you know first-hand the quality of teaching and 
learning at HGSE. Our faculty works on the cutting edge of education 
research, policy, and practice, and reflects a commitment to the highest 
teaching standards. Each summer, HGSE extends its reach beyond the 
traditional classroom and offers a variety of professional development 
programs. I want to share information about one of these programs with 
you--Policy Analysis and Planning for Improving Quality in Education 
Systems--taking place at HGSE from May 19–31.

The program provides an opportunity for international educational leaders 
to look broadly at the challenges of improving quality in education systems 
while exploring the many dimensions of quality with colleagues from around 
the world. Session topics include systems thinking for educators, design 
and development of policy analysis and planning models, monitoring and 
evaluation systems, education decision support, and management information 
systems.

field:

* James Honan, Senior Lecturer on Education, HGSE

We encourage ministries of education, as well as donor and lending 
agencies, to send teams of three or four participants. Please share this 
information with any colleagues who may be interested. The application 
deadline has been extended to March 28, 2008. For more information, visit
