Self-evaluation is an essential component of school improvement. Schools leaders are now more than ever focused on what they know about their schools, how the information can be used to inform improvement and establishing approaches to generate this information.
In this practitioner research, six schools were examined to find out:
- what processes were used to evaluate the work of the school
- whether or not the processes helped to identify what the schools needed to do to bring about improvement
- what factors contributed to success
- what factors inhibit success
The findings from the research highlight all of the evaluation processes used by the schools, and identify specific instances from case studies where improvements were made. Finally the report draws out what the main implications are for school leaders, and what leaders should consider when conducting self-evaluation in their own contexts.
