Educational Briefings
A FREE briefing focusing upon improving the quality of
your school self-evaluation
We are pleased to offer you and your school management team a
FREE briefing on how you can improve the quality of your school
self-evaluation. Our next events will be held in
Gloucester and Cheltenham in
March with a choice of 3 two-hour sessions on each day to fit in
with your schedules.
What will you gain from attending?
- Criteria that enable you to judge and improve the quality of
your evaluative writing.
- Understanding of a process to improve evaluative writing, that
can be applied to all key monitoring and evaluation activities,
such as lesson observation and pupil work sampling.
- An overview of an efficient, manageable system for gathering
information to support and underpin school self-evaluation. The
system enables senior leaders to produce evaluative summaries in
key aspects of the school's work such as teaching and learning,
standards and achievement, and the outcomes of the school's
provision for the Every Child Matters agenda.
- A demonstration of CfBT’s secure, web-based school
self-evaluation and improvement planning software tool - Stratis
e-Suite - that supports the completion of Ofsted’s Self- Evaluation
Form (SEF) for your school.
The above programme and associated materials have been used
extensively across England. One Headteacher who attended the
session said:
“The process you gave us for evaluating lessons is
proving to be extremely useful and the staff really like
it.”
Feedback from users of the Stratis e-Suite has been equally
positive:
“What I really like about Stratis e-Suite is the way
it has turned our planning cycle into an ongoing process. There was
always the danger when we produced development plans on paper that
the resulting document became too unwieldy to use effectively. Now
each subject and area of responsibility has its own plan which ties
into the overall school priorities.”
