HGiOS 3, Gathering Evidence
Irene Williams,(our DHT), and myself have been collating information like mad for our HMiE Follow Through Report and our Quality Improvement Officer’s visit. This alone proved to be a bit of a challenge, not because there was little or no evidence, just the opposite, we had masses. Filtering the evidence was a challenge as it was stored as different media in a variety of places. Assimilating it and relating it to the Quality Indicators for HGiOS 3 was not an easy task. We resolved to set up a better storage system to gather and collate evidence for each QI. We have set up a simple system with a folder for each QI and a word document for each theme within the Quality Indicators. All staff will be invited to add to the bank of evidence we will build up over the year. This will make the self-evaluation process much easier as all the evidence will be located in the one place, hopefully making the process easier and much less painful. I may translate it to a wiki so that staff can add to it on-line without the need to be in school to access the folders. When I’ve done this I will publish it as I haven’t worked out how to upload folders onto this site yet. Any ideas?
You can access the folders at our school web-site, which is currently under re-construction.
