From Strategy to Outcomes: Insights from School Inspections in 23 Educational Institutions

This report presents findings from the inspection of 23 schools conducted by 20 inspectors over 1.5 days. Each school visit produced a unique report detailing its educational landscape, addressing critical aspects like leadership, curriculum, infrastructure, and teaching processes. Initiated in September 2007 and concluding with a final workshop in September 2008, this extensive examination emphasizes the importance of strategy in achieving educational outcomes. It also discusses the interplay between national policies and local school effectiveness, highlighting the need for vision and informed decision-making in education.

  7. Language is everything • Conditions • Leadership • Infrastructure and access • Curriculum planning • Quality assurance and improvement • Use • Pupil use • The teaching process • Administrative use • Outcomes • Impact on learning and standards

  8. Before we begin… • What is a schoolleader? • What is a curriculum? • Who funds what? • What is ICT? • What is the mandate of the school? + Basic info about the school

  9. Discipline is everything • Observation forms • Evidence pointers • Could do with examples • Complete programme • Including time to reflect • Flexible schools • Interview guidance • School self-questionnaire • Evaluator guidance

  10. Numbers are everything

  11. General impressions • Hard to do work without the funds But… lack of funding doesn’t stop schools from forming a strategy and a vision…on the contrary • Involved persons can turn schools around • Hardware is important and not yet ‘ubiquitous’ • Schools who are not yet that advanced: learn lessons. Strategy first.

  12. Slow but positive cycle • Same mistakes can be made several times: e.g. hardware purchase without strategy • No good use without strategy and vision … vision befor hardware … BUT: ‘best’ visions informed by many mistakes • National policies DO influence what happens in schools … is it the intended outcome? … negative impact (lack of funds, vision, support) … link to national priorities (personalised learning, lll, equity, basic skills, integration)

  13. Less digital naive • Digital literacy teachers increased … Awareness of what is needed/lacking … More confident users … More reflective • Pupils do well … but could they do better? … most happy with ICT use … advanced skills, differentiation in skills … integration ofsocial aspect of learning/social sw … some critical information consumers

  14. A black box with a twist • Impact and outcomes a black box in most schools … what leads to results? … what is the contribution of a tool? • Learning environments ‘traditional with a twist’ … more interaction inside /outside … more self-directed/autonomous … better availability of sources

  15. Blended resources • Mix of traditional and new • Mix of self-made and from others • ICT allows to share, but… • Integration, synergies lacking • Quality on the up • Who makes it? • Different teachers different needs
