This practical manual has been designed for use in schools, by advisors, heads and senior managers looking to establish a systematic approach to evaluation as a normal part of the school's working practices. The authors concentrate on providing a practical approach to training key personnel, offering training models and photocopiable worksheets for use in workshop sessions. Written specifically for the non-expert, who will have to cope with evaluation as one job among many others, they explore a structured approach to evaluation as an integral part of the management cycle. They look at staff development and instrument design, outlining training models from pre-briefing through to trialling and follow-up training, which also includes objectives, outline programmes and workshop briefings. A range of evaluation instruments is provided, with commentary and annotation about their nature, scope and what preliminary trials in schools revealed.
