Recommendations
-
Beware the risk of carrying out a project that lives "a life of its own?" or one that is experienced as "additional work". The quality work can be effective only in relation to the core tasks and activities.
-
Make sure that the key players can gain from the results of quality work (students, teachers, managerial staff, the board of adult education and the university leadership).
-
In adult education quality can only be permanent when all the staff are committed to continuous learning. Making use of the results calls for determined staff development.
-
Make a plan and a budget for the quality project itself, but also for the task of transferring the results into the daily life of adult education services.
-
Think of the results within adult education as a part of the results within university`s outreach activities and external impact in general.
-
Communicate the project and its results widely and do not be afraid to admit the weaknesses as well as the strengths of the project. It will be more credible that way.
