Study Notes
IQMS Sub-systems
- IQMS comprises three interconnected subsystems, providing a comprehensive view of school and individual performance.
Quality Assurance Measures
- Theme 2 focuses on the design and implementation of effective quality assurance measures.
- Learning objective 4 differentiates between teacher peer review and self-reflection.
Self-Reflection
- Individual and school self-evaluation relies on educators and institutions' responsibility for quality assurance and improvement.
School Development Planning (SDP)
-
Priority setting is crucial for SDP, as needs assessment often surpasses available resources.
-
Short-term priorities followed by long-term priorities form the foundation of the plan.
-
School Development Committee (SDC) responsibilities:
- Crafting strategic plans.
- Gaining stakeholder approval.
- Developing action plans (tasks, responsibilities, timelines, resources, budget, and goals).
- Linking the development plan to other elements like budgeting to ensure realism and measurability.
- For example, if the goal is to increase Grade 7 pass rates, the indicator for progress would be the pass rate itself.
Development Reporting
- The committee monitors the action plan and reports regularly to the School Governing Body (SGB) and school community on progress.
- Maintaining records to demonstrate fairness and transparency is encouraged.
