School Principals must embrace and be prepared to drive the improvement process.\n\nIn 2021 AISSA is offering a high impact school improvement program designed to sup port Principals and their leadership teams to undertake a structured proce ss of school evaluation and review. Using the AISSA High Impact School Imp rovement Tool\, consultants will support school teams to undertake a self- assessment to enable each school to design and deliver a pathway forward and to measure impact in one of the key domains of the tool.\n\nThis is a one-year program. It will comprise face to face workshops and in-school su pport. The work will culminate with a validation experience where an exper t panel will be presented with the school’s work\, consider the progress made and provide suggestions for next steps.\n\nSchool leadership teams a re strongly encouraged to participate in a process which will build the in dividual school’s capacity for evaluation and improvement and strengthen school -based practices for planning\, implementation and evaluation.\n\n It is anticipated this program will build the professional capital of the Independent sector and lead to the enrichment of the School Improvement To ol as schools provide case studies recording the diversity of the improvem ent processes undertaken.\n\nThe series will be presented by Duncan Rintou l who has over 20 years experience in research and evaluation consultancy.
