Motivations of teachers involved • The motivations of active teachers remain at a solid high level throughout the 5 years program runtime. • Perceived responsibility for students and society, perception of own duties, and readiness for innovations play a central role for teachers. • Building an own profile and incentives are less important. • These findings are true for teachers that are involved in the program since ist beginning as well as for those who joined 2002 and later.

Transfer 4 profiles regarding readiness to support further dissemination and implementation: • Very active teachers in several areas (21,6%) • Teachers with significant transfer potencial (38,3%) • indifferent (33,2%) • Low level of readiness (6,8%) [LCA, N=316] BLK-Programm „21“, AbschlussevaluationKoordinierungsstelle, Arnimallee 9, 14195 Berlin
Transfer • From the point of view of the headmasters, improvements in the central infrastructure are an important field of activity. They want • more relevance of SD issues in curricula and guidelines • more ressources • ESD as a part of general educational standards • centralised support systems (e. g. networks and centres for ESD) BLK-Programm „21“, AbschlussevaluationKoordinierungsstelle, Arnimallee 9, 14195 Berlin
