Presentation at IEEE Frontiers of Education 2020 Conference The Work-in-Progress article in the Difference Makers track describes experiences in managing a project in the German Teaching Quality Pact, a nationwide project running from 2011 to 2021. Change management principles are employed to ensure that the project work has a sustained impact. Different phases of the innovation cycle require different measures and communications to address stakeholders. Evaluation shows that the quality-in-teaching project has made an impact on education at our university, and the current focus is on sustaining the improvements.
