our process
Homer Education bring an objective and action planning approach to school self-evaluation.
Qualitative research and opinion surveys look closely at people’s views and opinions. At Homer Education, we draw constructive conclusions from our findings, which are then presented in a detailed Report:
- We uncover what clients and stakeholders really think – not what people think schools want to hear
- We ask what people think is done well – and then plan what needs development or improvement
- Our Reports present the views of each respondent group separately – teachers, pupils, parents, head teachers and other senior staff, feeder school heads, governors and so on.
From Research Report to real school improvements
Making the most of our Report involves several key processes:
- De-briefing the school’s senior leadership team to identify the Report’s most important messages
- Responding objectively to reactions from reading the Report’s findings – which can sometimes be quite strong
- Channelling all responses into a constructive mindset which then leads to action planning i.e. focusing on key messages and incorporating them into improvement plans.
in our experience, schools that open themselves up to this process have a greater chance of improvement. to discuss school self-evaluation and improvement issues in detail and how the approach of homer education could be applied in your school, contact Brian Homer today.
