A USER-FRIENDLY TOOLKIT FOR SCHOOL SELF EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT
Description
This toolkit is an outcome of a project entitled Supervising Schools in the 21st Century: Digital Tools and Improvement Plans (SS21DTIP). The purpose of the project was to reinforce the improvement processes taking place within schools with the description of procedures and techniques and the creation of tools that will be aiming to enable schools to engage with educational evidence and find enhanced teaching, learning and managing strategies. This toolkit is based on a systematic literature review and findings derived from a series of Case Studies of schools in four European countries (Spain, Bulgaria, Ireland and Greece). SS21DTIP intended to contribute to a unique and innovative insight into school evaluation by assisting schools with what is at the centre of effective planning activities, data-informed internal evaluation and planning processes.
This toolkit aims to provide those in charge of planning, developing and assessing schools’ improvement plans with criteria, strategies and instruments to do it in an effective way. It also aims to promote the European dimensions of School Improvement planning.
