Learning tracks

Three instruments that go down to the ground once the survey has sketched it

The field instruments: documents, observation and interview

6 lessons 40 minutes In a higher plan

After the broad sweep come the instruments that verify it. This track covers document analysis in its four families, classroom observation with its eleven practices, six rules and its floor on forms, the discipline of note-taking and its three tools, learning-environment observation, and the four interviews with what running them requires.

By the end of this track you will be able to…

  • Identify the documents each domain needs, without piling up what serves no indicator
  • Plan the classroom observations by number and spread across subjects
  • Write a descriptive classroom note free of judgement and inference
  • Run an interview that gathers information about performance instead of turning into an audit

Lesson 1

Document analysis

A document is defined as a textual, audio or visual product, whether digital or printed, that preserves an account of a particular occurrence. Document analysis is one of the team's instruments for drawing data related to the evaluation standards and their indicators, and the required documents are classified into four categories.

  • School management: the operational plan, the student guidance plan and its reports, the performance-indicator follow-up plan, the activity plan, the professional development plan, enrichment programmes, and learner-protection procedures
  • Safety and security: the safety plan, evacuation plans and their evaluation, equipment records, and training-requirement records
  • Teaching effectiveness: samples of learner and teacher portfolios, performance follow-up records, assessment forms, and teachers' own self-evaluation and reflective-practice reports
  • Learning outcomes: discipline and behaviour reports, health-promoting programmes, enrichment programmes, and reports on competitions and participation
