Are
supervisors
sufficiently
skilled
in
evaluaMng
the
impact
of
provision
on
outcome?
7. Issues
to
Resolve
• How
do
principals
receive
quality
informaMon
from
supervisors
on
which
to
build
strategy
for
improvement?
• Is
objecMve
verificaMon
of
evaluaMon
carried
out?
If
so,
how?
8. Key
Strategies
1.
Agree
key
aspects
of
the
school’s
work
2.
Schools
evaluate
themselves
objecMvely
and
accurately
3.
EvaluaMons
must
be
based
on
real
evidence
4.
Valid
sources
of
evidence
must
be
agreed
and
moderated
9. Key
Strategies
(con1nued)
5.
Schools
need
a
self-‐evaluaMon
framework
against
which
evidence
is
compared
and
judgements
made
6.
EvaluaMons
must
be
triangulated/checked
for
consistency
and
reliability
7.
Judgements
must
be
corporate
–
more
than
just
one
person
making
them

EvaluaMons
lead
to
idenMficaMon
of
strengths
and
aspects
for
improvement
9.
Aspects
for
improvement
lead
to
recommendaMons
10.
RecommendaMons
lead
to
acMon

11.
AcMon
plans
must
be
‘SMART’
12.
AcMons
underpinned
by
well-‐focused
CPD
11. Consider….
At
the
heart
of
self-‐evaluaMon
and
quality
assurance
lies:
• Students’
achievement
and
personal
development
• Opportunity
for
teachers
to
be
the
best
they
can
be
• Analysis
of
what
works
well
in
curriculum
design
• EffecMveness
of
leadership
in
bringing
about
change
12. Remember…..
Schools
and
educaMonal
insMtuMons
need
to
be
able
to
evaluate
themselves
objecMvely
and
accurately
against
agreed
criteria
13. Evidence

So….
‘What
worked
well?
and
‘What
were
the
core
themes
that
contributed
to
this
judgment?’
14. Evidence

(conMnued)
• Consistent
and

encourages
improvement
15. Evidence

(con1nued)
• Regular
monitoring
of
progress
• Ensuring

• EvaluaMon

16. Evidence

21. Self-‐EvaluaMon
is
Complex
‘EducaMonal
establishments
spend
an
enormous
amount
of
Mme
measuring
all
aspects
of
provision
but
we
are
sMll
accused
of
not
providing
a
workforce
that
is
amuned
to
providing
high
quality
services’
22. Self-‐EvaluaMon
is
Complex
(con1nued)
Why?
• Limited
focus
• More
emphasis

• The

with
the

23. Self-‐EvaluaMon
is
Complex
(con1nued)
Conclusion
We
have
failed
to
keep
pace
in
some
aspects
of
our
provision
with
the
requirements
of
a
digital
age
that
demands:
• flexibility
of

• an
open
mind
• ability
to
changing

there
actually
is
• Concurrent

a
qualitaMve

27. ImplemenMng
a
System
‘Requires
all
involved
to
have
