The completion of two school-based evaluation reports at a
Catholic High School in the ACT highlighted the need for
support structures both for evaluating staff and for the
management of an evaluation report. The writer (a school
principal) felt a need to review school-based evaluations
in a more professional manner, and to ensure that
evaluations were managed with greater support for the staff
involved.
In the absence of known Australian checklists, designed to
review school-based evaluations, two recognised evaluation
checklists, those of Russell and Maling-Keepes, are tested
as instruments of review, by applying them to the two
school evaluation reports. Four evaluation reviews are
documented, in all. The main purposes of this research
were:
(1) to determine the merits of the completed evaluations by
applying the checklists of Russell and Maling-Keepes,
(2) to test the relevance of the evaluation checklists of
Russell and Maling-Keepes as instruments of review at
the school level,
(3) in the light of this research, to be in a better
position to recommend
a) a suitable review method for use by Catholic
School Principals,
b) support structures, both at a system level and a
school level, to assist the development of
school-based evaluations.
