  Review (ESR)
• Ways to Quality School Education

What is SSE?

• Planning
• Implementation
• Evaluation

3
What

• A review-plan-do-evaluate-review sequence
• Both descriptive and evaluative
• An investigative and reflective mode of analysis
• Can be applied at various levels from a whole
  school focus to particular aspects of provision
  and practice which contribute to the whole

SSE

• A systemic process through which a school
  continuously reviews the quality and
  effectiveness of its work so as to facilitate its
  self-improvement and further development, leading
  to the provision of quality education for its
  students

5
SSE is

• At the heart of quality assurance
• A key requirement for school improvement
• Part of the school development planning cycle
• An on-going process

The four phases

• Planning
• Implementing monitoring
• Self-evaluating
• Reporting

Tools

• PIs
• KPMs
• APASO (affective social outcome)
• SVAIS (value-addedness)
• Stakeholders survey

9
How

• A critical mass - School Improvement Team (SIT)
  (SEED)

• Think BIG, start small!

10
What is ESR?

• To validate school self-evaluation
• To promote the use of data and evidence as basis
  for SSE
• To help schools identify strengths and areas for
  improvement

11
What is ESR?

• To report to the public the performance of a
  school
• To establish a feedback loop to help formulate
  policies and set priorities for development

12

Sustaining SDA development

• an evaluative process with on-going refinements
  and improvement measures
• give due consideration to schools concern,
  transparency and workload
• 
  

15
What we have learnt in the initial phase of SDA
implementation

• SDA helps schools to
• establish a more reflective culture
• strengthen learning and teaching through
  systematic and evidence-based SSE
• enhance capacity building and mutual trust among
  teachers for collaboration and professional
  dialogue
• foster ownership of school improvement measures
• promote continuous development

16
What we have learnt in the initial phase of SDA
implementation

• Problems and difficulties encountered by schools
• schools over-prepared for ESR resulting in
  unnecessary workload for teachers
• schools over-concerned about the ratings of the
  14 areas but not focus on the reflective
  processes
• some teachers do not have appropriate skills to
  undertake SSE/SSA

17
Improvement measures to sustain SDA development

• Modify report requirements (not necessary to
  upload SSE reports, only report the mandatory
  data to major stakeholders)
• Collect KPM information from schools only once
  every 4 years
• Modify and upload stakeholders survey for
  schools access
• Develop on-line data collection tool for APASO
• Develop an e-platform for SDA
• Provide an on-line course on SSE for schools
• Remind schools to avoid over-preparation and
  over-documentation
• Schools are no longer required to draw up ratings
  on the 14 areas
•
