Developing Self Management and Self Evaluation in Your School | |
|
|
||||
|
Toolkits To For Information
School self-evaluation is a central and vital element in the school improvement cycle. To further support the self-evaluation process the Local Authority is developing a number of 'Toolkits' which focus on specific areas of a school's work. The intention is that schools will use the toolkits as and when they come to focus on particular areas of work. It is not expected that a school would use every toolkit every year. The SRSE Guidance and Handbook should now be considered as a toolkit to support the Self-Evaluation process. Toolkits previously circulated and posted on BGfL: Toolkits to be posted on BGfL this term: Toolkits in Development to be posted on BGfL by September 2007: Please direct any enquiries regarding these documents to Mick Quigley, Principal Inspector mick.quigley@barnet.gov.uk or |
