Abstract
Between 1975 and 1980 the Organization for European Co‐operation and Development's (OECD) Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) engaged in a major project to enable its member countries to share experience of innovatory approaches to the in‐service education of teachers. This paper refers briefly to one strand of the project ‐ the collection and synthesis of case‐study material ‐ and describes in more detail the second strand: the co‐development work on the themes of teacher participation, evaluation, training the trainers, and the development of training materials. A preliminary evaluation is offered of the benefits gained in terms of accessing the international network, the motivation of participants, the development of in‐service education for teachers (INSET) research, and influences on national policy.
