Head masters working conditions and the evaluation of newly qualified teachers (RAOL-project)

How will the implementation of a Teacher Registration reform influence headmasters’ perceptions and performance of their leadership? How will the newly graduated teachers’ (NQT) probation year and the evaluation impact headmasters’ working and professional position? How do headmasters assess their competence to perform such evaluations? What organizational structures and/or individual factors support or impede the headmasters’ work during the process of evaluating NQTs?

These are some of the issues studied in the research project "The Headmasters’ work and evaluation of newly qualified teachers. A study of changing working conditions for headteachers during the implementation of teacher registration in Sweden. The project, called the RAOL-project, is conducted during 2013-2016 and is funded by AFA Insurance and the University of Gävle.

The research project is managed by the Induction Research Group at the University of Gävle, and participating researchers are:
