Pilot Sample profile – V1 Dissemination Level Public Status Final
Abstract
The aim of this public deliverable is to provide its readers with a clear insight on the
methodology and organisational structure of the Go-Lab Pilot and the selection process of
the participating Go-Lab Pilot Schools. While the process was launched at the end of 2013,
collaboration with teachers has already started from September 2013 in preparation of the
initial project activities. As the result of these preparation activities, 85 schools have been
pre-selected by the National Coordinators already in this early phase. After the launch of the
Call for Go-Lab Pilot Schools, the number of applications has reached more than 400
schools in all pilot countries.
The selection of Pilot Schools to participate in the Go-Lab implementation activities is the
result of a carefully organised selection process. The final procedures and selection criteria
of the Pilot Schools described in this document is the result of a series of meetings with the
top management and the National Coordinators of the Go-Lab project. The reaction of the
school and teachers communities around Europe and beyond has been very encouraging
providing us with great numbers and a pool of motivated teachers that will assist us in the
further development of the Go-Lab interventions.
Section 2 of this deliverable “Organisation of Go-Lab Pilot activities” represents the aims and
goals of these activities as well as organisation of work within the Go-Lab Consortium.
In Section 3 “Pilot Phase A: methodology”, we are looking into the tasks that the selected
Pilot Schools were asked to carry out as well as the selection criteria the consortium defined
related to both schools and teachers. The organisation and dissemination of the Call for GoLab
Pilot Schools is also extensively explained, while information is also provided regarding
the first implementation steps and the ways teachers/schools have been invited to contribute
to the whole process.
In Section 4 “Pilot Phase A: selected schools”, the full lists of the selected Pilot Schools per
country are provided. In the majority of countries the National Coordinators have decided to
involve more teachers than the initial plan has foreseen, so a total on 154 teachers are
participating in Phase A, in place of 100.
In Section 5 “Pilot Schools sample profiles” and in the form of good practice, we can see the
profiles of thirty Go-Lab Pilot Schools including information about their infrastructure and
teachers’ characteristics. All information and insights have been provided by the Pilot
Schools and their teachers.
