19. Conclusions…
Changes in operation and administration,
concluded in wide cooperation and participation.
Developing culture of innovation influences the local
society which accordingly is changing, changing us
also backwards.
Implementation of an action plan can act beneficially
towards a thinking school, through repeating
evaluation loops
An essential evaluation can only be performed after a long period (4-5 years) of actions and activities
Importance of lifelong training for teachers and educators
Organizing extroversion events by entrusting critical responsibilities to students was also one of our positive
remarks
20. Finally, evaluation in each step helped us to achieve goals and set new
milestones.
We observed that extroversion events joined teachers, students and local
community together. Science and culture came closer to students and
local society.
All these events include the element of collaboration and cooperation between
several partners and promote our basic goal of knowledge diffusion.
Another remarkable conclusion is the importance of educational scenarios,
material and content and the diffusion of these educational tools.
Additionally, participation in contests is another crucial parameter
