Educational units and service administration for the promotion of teacher mobility and training in innovative European Programs

The educational community needs innovative teaching practices as well as effective service administration. European Educational Programs can contribute to this within the framework of updated European educational policies. This research examines the participation motives of teachers in the Larissa and Pieria regional units in European Educational Programs. According to the research findings, there is a correlation between push and pull motives and motivational factors with the demographic data of teachers. In addition, information from the school administration and themselves, participation in the management of processes and collaboration with colleagues contribute significantly to their participation in European Educational Programs. The above results support policy-making in the service administration of an educational unit, in light of the push for continuous training and mobility of teachers. Finally, they highlight the main aspects that need to be developed during the promotion and implementation of these programs within the educational community.
