The Publication “Recognize, Promote and Spread – Stories on Successful Schools” was created as part of the project “3P – Recognize, Promote and Spread” realized by UNICEF in cooperation with the Institute for Psychology of the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Belgrade, Institute for Evaluation of Education Quality and Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit of the Government of the Republic of Serbia with the financial support of the UNICEF office in Serbia.
The 3P approach was developed in order to develop a model in which changes in education would be based on good practices developed by successful schools in Serbia. The 3P approach is designed with the intention to encourage and support learning based on good practices and models developed by schools in Serbia which often remain insufficiently visible and used as a source of innovations for improving the quality of education in the whole system. The name 3P originates from three key phases of this approach – recognize, promote and spread (in Serbian – prepoznati, promovisati i proširiti).
During the selection process, the starting point was an idea that successful schools should have two key qualities – the positive relations and education process of good quality in schools, as well as the students with good educational achievements due to the school itself.
For every school, selected as an example of a successful school, the research team planned to research and describe three aspects: (a) which key qualities and good practices exist in the school and which are responsible for a general good quality of school, (b) the school development path, that is, how the school have become the successful school and (v) a view to the future, that is, the direction in which the school intends to be developed in future period.
