School Self Evaluation - A data informed approach - Micro-credential

The micro-credential will assist participants in understanding how data-informed reflection and evaluation may be used to identify areas for improvement, and attention will be given to the development of the data literacy knowledge and skills required to access and use data within an SSE context. Issues of organisational change leadership which are fundamental to the successful execution of improvement plans will be addressed from a school perspective and the micro-credential will draw on organisational effectiveness research to identify how to set effective objectives and targets, and how to put in place and successfully implement plans for school improvement. Particular attention will be paid to SSE within the Irish context and participants will be supported in understanding that context and critiquing it, both at policy and school level. This micro-credential will also be very relevant to DEIS school planning and the stages and processes involved in that.

Applicants must be over 21 years of age.
Must be a qualified teacher or be in a leadership role in a school.
