Self Assesment and Strategic Development in your own school

Introduction

In this program the participants perform a self-evaluation of their own school, with the aim of maximizing the school’s contribution to the pupils’ development and learning. The self-evaluation is used as basis for the development of a management strategy for development and change of their own school in order to increase the pupils’ learning. We especially emphasise the professional pedagogical and organisational conditions that must be met to create good schools.
