Abstract
Teachers should lead classes with more effective and innovative teaching methods (Schleicher, 2012; Benavides, 2010). The culture of lifelong learning is connected with students’ improvement (Darling-Hammond, 2009). The research studies the impact of trainings delivered by CESEDI - a public institution - across ten years and the different school´ organization to permit engagement of teachers as educational leader (named as facilitator). We collected: the quantitative data through a web engine solution based on the Opinio platform. We ran a PCA (Principal Component Analysis) on a part of the questionnaire addressed to the study (n 592) of individual and social factors; the qualitative data with biographical matrix of professional role (n 19). The research shows how a specific role of teacher as facilitator enables the following aspects: leadership empowerment, improvement of teaching, colleagues support for accomplishing the tasks learned, participated decision making. As demonstrated teachers appreciate to be helped by colleagues.
