EVALUATION

EVALUATION PROCESS

Any proposal submitted to the Athens Open Schools program is evaluated based on it completeness, the educational content and the requested funding. Should the evaluation committee require any clarifications or additional information, the program's working team will be in touch. 

Any proposal for an operation submitted to the Open Schools program is evaluated on the completeness of the proposal, the teaching content and funding. The operator is informed by the project management team if needed clarification or additional information.

Those proposals that are in line with the above, are forwarded to the City of Athens City Council for the final approval. 

Once the proposal gets approved from the City Council, the program's working team gets in touch with the organisation in order to commence the activity.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Some basic criteria are taken into account for the selection of activities to add to the program. They must:

  • Appeal to children, preschool, primary and / or secondary school students, educators and teachers, parents and residents of the local community
  • Be well-designed, consistent and documented plans with clear aims
  • Be consistent with the activities, aims and priorities of the community and the City of Athens.
  • Free of charge or with a very detailed, clear budget

The selected activities will be subject to continuous evaluation during their implementation and may be suspended if they do not meet the agreed criteria and / or if participation is not sufficient. At the same time, successful activities will be encouraged to repeat and/or add additional offerings.
