NEW MODE OF GOVERNANCE OF SD ACTIONS

• Collaborative action research

• On 4 targets : - Coordinating- Monitoring- Communicating- Sharing

METHODOLOGY

• Collecting datas :

- Open interviews- Work groups in the schools

TWO AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS INVOLVED

• Two schools- School A : a big school : academical,

technological and vocational agricultural training, implemented SD for years

- School B: small agricultural vocational school, tradition of Education for Environnement

Many SD activities, lot of creativity but no monitoring of the SD action plan 5

EXPERIMENTATION STAGESMode of distributed leadership

• Making a diagnosis before proposing other actions DD

• Setting participative organization for monitoring the action plan in link with the school boards and councils

• Creating a stearing team with teaching and non teaching staff, also including pupils

6

EXPERIMENTATION STAGESMode of distributed leadership

• Formalizing (describing) actions DD in progress

• Evaluating the implementation, their results and their impact

colleagues and pupils• Possibility of working in different way• Learning about project tools and methods• Actions planning

DISTRIBUTED LEADERSHIP OF SD ACTIONS PLAN IS DIFFICULT TO

IMPLEMENT

• Same guidelines to develop the learning process and a charter

• Same trainers and researchers to support them

• But two different final results• School A developed a shared

governance/approach quality• School B : consultation

IMPLEMENT

Big diversity in the way of thinking school organization, management role,

educational mission, students’empowerment
