Managing Improving Primary Schools - Using Evidence-based Management (Hardcover)

Helps teachers and managers develop self-assessment skills and procedures, to make OFSTED more manageable
Self-assessment is likely to be part of the future of OFSTED inspection - this book anticipates what schools will need to do, and provide the knowledge and tools to make it possible
A practical handbook which senior staff in primary schools can use to support their activities in evidence-based management. There is increased emphasis on teachers monitoring the quality of teaching and learning, the Teacher Training Agency's direction is toward teaching as a research-based profession, and there is greater need to assess learning gains and evaluate year-on-year progress in schools. For headteachers, deputy heads, managers, Key Stage coordinators and subject coordinators, this book will provide the guidance they need to conduct and act upon quality reviews and evidence-based analyses of pupils' learning and the quality of teaching.
