Book Synopsis Improving Schools and Inspection by : Neil Ferguson
Download or read book Improving Schools and Inspection written by Neil Ferguson and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2000-04-10 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `This is an important book, not least because OfTED may well have changed English schools more substantially than any previous curriculum development or assessment development programme′ - Mentoring & Tutoring This book looks at the relationship between school inspection and school improvement. The authors show how heads have used inspectors′ reports to put in place real school improvement. They deal with the contexts of inspection and comparisons are made with the Australian experience of school self-review. The book focuses on how schools have developed a culture of self-inspection. The authors consider the system of OfSTED inspections and ask how beneficial inspection has been in encouraging schools to develop and improve. They suggest there is need for a change and that there are alternative approaches to school assessment and improvement, which could be more effective. They argue that the school′s own evaluation processes should play a greater part in the arrangements for inspection. Improving Schools and Inspection will be essential reading for headteachers and other professionals engaged in dealing with inspections.

Book Synopsis Inspecting Schools by : Brian Wilcox
Download or read book Inspecting Schools written by Brian Wilcox and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the first half of the 1990s the British government turned inspection into an ambitious instrument of educational policy-making. Initially it encouraged local education authorities to experiment with inspection 'in all its forms'. Growing impatient wih the pace of change, however, a new policy was brought into force afer the 1992 General Election." "Schools were to be inspected on a hitherto unprecedented scale. Every primary and secondary school in England and Wales was to undergo a 'full' inspection once every four years. At the same time a new agency, the Office for Standards in Education (OFSTED), was set up to organize the new programme. Their concern, they declared, was not merely to hold schools to account but to help them to improve. So-called 'failing' schools, in particular, would be identified and put on notice to change." "The research reported here is one of the very first independent attempts to explore the aftermath of inspection and the ways in which schools do (or don't) take up inspectors' challlenges. What kinds of recommendations do schools find relatively easy to implement? Which factors seem to make a difference? Do so-called 'failing' schools require special treatment? In short, has a 'powerful tool' for school improvement been discovered? Or is its leverage on change processes, in practice, more modest?" "The history of school inspections in Britain stretches back over 150 years. Despite this lengthy tradition, its effects have up till now been simply asserted or taken for granted. Inspecting Schools offers a compelling account of the limits and possibilities of inspection as a mechanism for school reform."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
