Conditions ❖ Bottom-up process ❖ Teacher educators participate on voluntary basis, yet once engaged in the design team, they are expected to be committed to the project and to promote the findings/results among their colleagues ❖ Application form is a starting point and guideline, the design team are (quite) free to follow their own route
