1. Together Towards Improvement (TTI) A Process for Self-Evaluation
Post Primary
2. TTI the current position
The effectiveness of self evaluation to promote improvement is very good or outstanding in one third of schools inspected (ETI Leadership Survey 2010)
3. TTI the challenge HOWEVER:
The effectiveness of self-evaluation is inadequate or unsatisfactory in one fifth of primary schools and one third of post-primary schools
An area for improvement identified in half of the schools inspected was the need for more effective procedures for review and analysis of evidence
4. TTI the challenge evidence collected during inspections in the school years 2006-07 to 2008-09 illustrates that while there is much good practice in leadership and management - more so in primary schools than in the other two sectors - there are key areas for improvement most notably:
within all three sectors/phases:
the arrangements for self-evaluation and the procedures for review, including the actions taken to promote improvement in the outcomes for learners.
