School Improvement in the UAE
To achieve the world-class education systems to which it aspires, the UAE applies a high-quality evaluation system to measure reliably the quality of school performance and to support school improvements and students’ outcomes, through rigorous and regular school inspections.
The UAE School Inspection Framework is based on comprehensive performance standards that define the essential aspects of a quality education.
Each standard is broken down into specific indicators and elements, and detailed descriptors and illustrations guide inspection judgements and school improvement.
School inspections are structured around six performance standards and conclude with an overall performance judgement.
Performance standards
1. Students’ achievement
2. Students’ personal and social development, and their innovation skills
3. Teaching and assessment
4. Curriculum
5. The protection, care, guidance and support of students
6. Leadership and management
The Continuous School Improvement Plan (SIP)
The attached Continuous School Improvement template (SIP) is designed to provide educational leaders with a planning template that addresses all areas covered throughout the Leadership Training Programme learning journey.
This template is designed based on the Continuous School Improvement Framework (Bernhardt 2017) covered in Module 12 which aims at supporting educational leaders create a learning organization that will make a difference for all students, teachers and staff members. In addition, this template incorporates the performance standards of the UAE School Inspection Framework.
You are requested to reflect on your own school context, the topics covered in the 12 leadership training modules as well as the UAE Inspection Framework, and complete the Continuous School Improvement Template by addressing the five questions of the Continuous School Improvement Framework (Bernhardt 2017). Once completed, upload the SIP Template to Canvas.
