ABSTRACT

The three-phase school improvement process has at its core an unrelenting focus on learning and attainment. Given this central focus, the school improvement strategy encompasses both classroom practice, particularly the expansion of teacher’s teaching repertoire, and the building of capacity at the school level, especially the redesign of staff development. Whilst this is not a ‘quick-fix’ approach, many of the activities involved will bring short-as well as medium-term gains. The three phases are:

Phase One – Establishing the Process

Phase Two – Going Whole School

Phase Three – Sustaining Momentum
