Modern economics has placed lifelong learning (LLL) at the center of an intensive ongoing political debate. Evidenced-based interventions are needed, not only in continuing education courses for teachers, but also in schools. This paper introduces evaluation results of TALK, a teacher education program for professional teachers with the objective of fostering LLL in schools. Two main goals were investigated: effects on teacher competences and cooperation. 40 secondary-school teachers participated. Repeated measures in a control group design established the gains of TALK: It must be evaluated as a program which is successful in the robust enhancement of teacher competences and cooperation.
► Evidence based teacher education program for professional teachers. ► Program content: Fostering LLL among pupils. ► Program consists of an intensive and supervision phase to insure sustainability. ► Teacher competences include knowledge, belief, motivation. ► Teacher cooperation is seen as essential for fostering pupils' LLL-competences.
