Self-Evaluation in European Schools by Lars Jakobsen

Self-Evaluation in European Schools by Lars Jakobsen

In a political and economic climate in which school performance is made public, performance tables and inspectors' reports can only tell a partial story. This book illustrates how schools can tell their own story. It draws on groundbreaking work with the National Union of Teachers to demonstrate a practical approach to identifying what makes a good school and the part that pupils, parents and teachers can play in school improvement.
