Project Management @ School

Code: 017

Course overview and purpose:
Managing a project involves different aspects and several activities that have to be tracked and followed up on. Tasks must be defined, a related schedule must be created, resources have to be made available and assigned to the project, and risks have to be identified. A project management system is a means of managing a project by planning, organising, and managing its different required aspects.
This course aims at providing school workers with specific tools and approaches that can improve the quality of education and make it more interactive and enjoyable. Thanks to Project Management (PM) tools, teachers and principals can better communicate and collaborate, ensure the effectiveness of their education projects, and provide their students with innovative techniques which will be viable and useful in their classwork.

Learning outcomes:
- apply PM tools and techniques illustrated and tested during the course
