Workshop on Descriptive Feedback

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 15:19:13 +0200

In the autumn of 2010, three workshops were held focusing on descriptive feedback. They arose from the needs of schools that were primarily in the role of peers. The aim of these workshops was to obtain information on how to give feedback so that it had a predictive value, was understandable, motivating and inspiring (not hurting). The aim was also to get acquainted with the ways - tools to be used by peers when observing (depending on the areas chosen by the school evaluated), try in practice the descriptive formulation of evaluation and recommendations.

Workshop on Self-evaluation

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 15:16:09 +0200

The aim of the workshop was to familiarize schools with the basic theoretical base of self-evaluation, arrange for participants sharing of experiences on self-evaluation of schools (which could serve as inspiration and examples of good as well as bad practice) and stimulate collaboration among schools in the field of school self-evaluation. The participants were supposed to share their experiences with each other in terms of planning and implementation of the self-evaluation process. The assumption was that they would share their experience of how they plan to implement the unfinished self-assessment, how they have divided responsibility at school for different areas of self-evaluation, what evaluation criteria they have, what tools they use and in what period - and why, what are the pitfalls or benefits. The aim was for the participants to acquire and subsequently use both the positive and negative findings, gain motivation to improve self-evaluation processes in their schools, and also get, at least some of them, partners for further cooperation.
