Newcastle University (UK) is currently evaluating the impact of introducing SOLE in schools and day-care centres in Ukraine, Romania and Moldova. The aim of the evaluation is to understand the impact of SOLE on children, teachers and families, as well as on the relationships between these groups.  We are looking for evidence that children are developing learning habits which enable them to Dream, Achieve, Realise and Express (DARE).  Within each of these aspects of DARE, we have defined 2 related learning habits.  The tools to be used in the evaluation are designed to provide evidence of the development (or lack of development) of these habits and how these might empower children to develop their ‘voice’.  Details of the research design and the tools being used can be found in the documents below.
