Outstanding Teaching and Learning
Introduction
Traditionally, educational evaluation has been focused on the learning of students. So disturbing and unfair, rather undemocratic, in systems single subject teaching the student was evaluated. Many educational researchers have tried to change this order of things and states explicitly that the assessment should cover several areas: education authorities, schools and the teaching / learning methods and environment. In general, if the assessment is rigorous, it serves to highlight shortcomings wrong practices, administrative oversights (Cuban, 2003,, 36).
A school is a complex institution, whose operation is determined by external and internal environment. The education inspectorate has an external control about it, but there is nowhere to be expected valid proposals for improvement. Change must come from within. Internal evaluation is the road. The improvement plan replaced with advantage to external evaluation (EVA plans and audits, etc.).
What is a School Improvement Plan?
Sometimes, we use names that are scary. An improvement plan, for example, has to be something sophisticated, technocratic, and complex. An improvement plan is only the translation of a compromise. Even that, is the manifestation of an intention to improve, to change to be more effective, to better serve our students, to move towards total quality.
