Educa3on’
February 2013

Quality Assurance Systems
Need to be:
‘Fit for Purpose’
Quality Assurance Systems (con1nued)
And:
‘Right First Time’
GeGng it ‘Right First Time’
Do teachers fully understand the impact of their teaching on
learning?
GeGng it ‘Right First Time’
(con1nued)
Are supervisors sufficiently skilled in evaluaMng the impact of provision on outcome?
Issues to Resolve
• How do principals receive quality informaMon from supervisors on which to build strategy for improvement?
• Is objecMve verificaMon of evaluaMon carried out? If so, how?
Key Strategies 1. Agree key aspects of the school’s work 2. Schools evaluate themselves objecMvely and accurately 3. EvaluaMons must be based on real evidence 4. Valid sources of evidence must be agreed and moderated
Key Strategies (con1nued)
5. Schools need a self-‐evaluaMon framework against which evidence is compared and judgements made
6. EvaluaMons must be triangulated/checked for consistency
and reliability 7. Judgements must be corporate – more than just one
person making them
Key Strategies (con1nued)
8. EvaluaMons lead to idenMficaMon of strengths and aspects for improvement
9. Aspects for improvement lead to recommendaMons 10. RecommendaMons lead to acMon planning 11. AcMon plans must be ‘SMART’ 12. AcMons underpinned by well-‐focused CPD
Consider…. At the heart of self-‐evaluaMon and quality assurance lies: • Students’ achievement and personal development • Opportunity for teachers to be the best they can be • Analysis of what works well in curriculum design • EffecMveness of leadership in bringing about change
Remember…..
Schools and educaMonal insMtuMons need to be able to evaluate
themselves objecMvely and accurately against agreed criteria
Evidence in PracMce
From a Principal of a school judged ‘outstanding’ 5 1mes!!!
So….
‘What worked well? and ‘What were the core themes that contributed
to this judgment?’
Evidence in PracMce (conMnued)
• Consistent and synchronised cycle of monitoring and evaluaMon
• Highly trained staff with excellent communicaMon skills
• An environment which encourages improvement
Evidence in PracMce (con1nued)
• Regular monitoring of progress • Ensuring monitoring outcomes/conclusions are acted upon
• EvaluaMon against the highest standards; ‘mediocrity will not do’
Evidence in PracMce (con1nued)
• Monitoring is a key driver for improvement • AnalyMcal self-‐evaluaMon • An understanding of what our children require
Evidence in PracMce (con1nued)
• Have high expectaMons • Ownership and accountability • Act on feedback • Confident analysis of data
Evidence in PracMce (con1nued)
• Use of external reviewers • Challenging each other • Use of informaMon
Evidence in PracMce (con1nued)
• Acknowledging outcomes and acMng on them • Allowing Mme for acMons to have an impact • ‘Fit for purpose’ approach
Key Skills for Leadership
• CommunicaMon • Understanding • Consistency • Persistence • Flexibility • Focused • EvaluaMon • Open to Challenges
Self-‐EvaluaMon is Complex
‘EducaMonal establishments spend an
enormous amount of Mme measuring all aspects of provision but we are sMll accused of not providing a workforce that is amuned to
providing high quality services’
Self-‐EvaluaMon is Complex (con1nued)
Why? • Limited focus • More emphasis is placed on ‘product’ rather than ‘process’
• The curriculum is not keeping pace with the demands of industry
Self-‐EvaluaMon is Complex (con1nued) Conclusion
We have failed to keep pace in some aspects of our provision with the requirements of a digital age that demands: • flexibility of thought • an open mind • ability to changing thought processes
Assessing Quality
Look at:
• Structures • Processes • Outcomes
Assessing Quality (con1nued) To achieve:
• Closing the gap between what should be and what there actually is
• Concurrent and retrospecMve view to see how far we have travelled
‘Keep Things Simple’
‘We ooen make self-‐evaluaMon far too
complicated and ‘scienMfic’ when in fact a qualitaMve perspecMve as well as a quanMtaMve
perspecMve is needed.’
ImplemenMng a System
‘Requires all involved to have a clear understanding of the subtle differences between the various criteria and how we
evaluate the impact of provision on outcomes.’
ImplemenMng a System (con1nued)
• Schools and educaMonal establishments exist within the communiMes that they serve
• Systems for self-‐evaluaMon need to reflect the school in its community
• ‘Strategy for Success’ is based on the fundamental principles necessary for effecMve self-‐evaluaMon
‘Strategy for Success’
• Succinct • Time effecMve • Easily understood by everyone • Provide opportuniMes for qualitaMve data to be analysed alongside quanMtaMve data
• Tailor made to each establishment • Provide a clear direcMon for improvement
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued)
• Enables schools to become or remain outstanding educaMonal insMtuMons
• The focus is on essenMal aspects of a school’s organisaMon that have a growing influence on its efficiency and effecMveness
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued)
• A ‘posi3ve’ approach towards helping schools • Improve learning potenMal & human capacity • Increasing social responsibility forms the core for ‘modern-‐thinking organisa3ons’
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued)
How does ‘Strategy for Success’ do this? • Graduated criteria for each of the 8 zones • Criteria matches provision against outcomes • Provides quality evaluaMons
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued)
Each ‘zone of success’ includes: • Self and organisaMonal assessment • Analysis and evaluaMon • ConMnuous personal development and organisaMonal improvement
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued)
Unique approach to fit needs: • Sharply focused techniques
• Self-‐assessment tools
• Training and coaching
• Easy to use web-‐based data
• Not ‘one-‐method-‐fits-‐all’
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued)
Summary • Tool developed especially for schools • Data is protected • Allows systemaMc improvement • Accurate analysis is ‘cost-‐effecMve’ • QuanMtaMve outcomes
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued) Key Successes
• Improved communicaMon at all levels but especially at classroom level
• Teachers understand what is evaluated • Criteria is made clear to everybody and understanding is checked
• EvaluaMons are backed with evidence
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued)
Key Points • Understand the difference between provision and outcome
• Do not measure in isolaMon as everything is interdependent
• Use graduated criteria and rigorously sMck to them • Evaluate both with heart and mind but find evidence to support judgements
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued)
Provides • Evidence of high quality self-‐evaluaMon • Direct links between self-‐evaluaMon, strategic planning and CPD
• InformaMon for the achievement of outcomes • Sharpens self-‐evaluaMon skills • EvaluaMon on cost-‐effecMveness of decisions • Impact of decision-‐making on outcomes
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued) The 8 Zones
1. Assessment of academic standards 2. Care, guidance, support, safety and behaviour of
students 3. Community 4. Culture 5. Curriculum 6. Leadership and Management 7. Resources 8. Teaching and Learning
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued)
The Scoring Range

1 to 10 scoring range.
The scoring range is split into five idenMfied outcomes
‘Strategy for Success’ (con1nued)
1 to 2 AWARE (Inadequate) 3 to 4 UNDERSTOOD (requiring
improvement) 5 to 6 APPLIED (SaMsfactory) 7 to 8 INTEGRATED (Good) 9 to 10 EXEMPLARY (Outstanding)
