Omschrijving	For a successful upbringing of children and in order to address their problems as well as society's problems, child & youth care and education need continuous improvement. However, many programs aiming for quality improvement do not lead to (long term) success. This course offers the conceptual and empirical basics of quality improvement in the primary process, in organisations, and politics in this field. Main topics are: - why quality improvement is necessary and difficult; - understanding and bridging the gap between what we know and what we do; - traditional concepts of implementation; - new perspectives on innovation, professionalism, and learning from work; - innovations in (inclusive) education: from ideas to interventions; - drop-out in education: in search for determinants and solutions; - leading transformations in youth policy,child and youth care and inclusive education. Throughout the course, the topic of developing and using evidence-based and practice-based knowledge to prevent school drop-out is used as a case example.
