Effective Evaluation

Domain 6 of the indicators framework, Evaluation, inquiry and knowledge building for improvement and innovation is the engine that drives improvement. The indicators in this domain highlight the relationship between organisational conditions and the capacity to do and use evaluation for improvement, and how these influence engagement with external evaluation.

In effective schools internal evaluation processes are systematic, coherent and connected at all levels of the school. This alignment ensures that leaders, teachers and boards of trustees are able to purposefully engage with external evaluation, using it as an opportunity to review, validate and support their own improvement actions.
