Abstract
Italian school is wondering about the changes to be introduced to improve the effectiveness of educational paths. These questions highlight the need to promote a culture of evaluation approaches by adopting new assessment on which to base educational decision-making processes in order to improve the quality of learning. To meet this requirement were initiated training projects for teachers, aimed in particular at schools in the regions of southern Italy, such as the "Plan of information and education on OECD-PISA and other national and international research", funded by PON. The project is based on the assumption that the improvement of learning outcomes and quality of teaching is inextricably tied to a strong renewal of in-service teacher's training. Has therefore developed a possible operational response to these needs, of that are presented lines of development and results.
