- Achieving staff buy in and commitment to your school’s evaluation and improvement activities
Programme Outline
What is it that you want to know?
Before purchasing expensive packages or spending valuable time developing internal evaluation tools we must be absolutely clear what it is we want to know. And why……
How, what, when and is there too much?
Developing the tools and processes to get under the skin of our school without overwhelming staff, pupils and admin with repeated data trawls and drops.
How do we transform data into information and knowledge that can help us improve as a school?
How do we drag it out of questionnaires, spread sheets, the Deputy Head’s charts and school review processes so that it effectively drives school improvement without overloading staff?
Self-evaluation data - more than just a management inspection exercise or a mass of figures on a spreadsheet?
Persuading staff of the value of data and information derived from self-evaluation tools, and how it can improve individual pupil teacher interactions, pupil progress and outcomes.
