Self-evaluation Model
Resources for Secondary School LRCs
Need a Key Question
Users who have already completed one or more evaluations and are familiar with the process can use this section to download the information relevant to an individual strand of a key question to be addressed as part of their rolling programme of evaluations.
The information module for each strand includes resources, descriptors and actions for improvement as well as the tools and checklists for recording evidence and the summary sheet listing the relevant indicators.
Users needing to refer to the guidance notes on the self-evaluation process or the gathering of evidence should look at the New User section. If you are looking just for forms and tools, then refer to the Need Tools/Forms section.
