`This is an important book, not least because OfTED may well have changed English schools more substantially than any previous curriculum development or assessment development programmeâ² - Mentoring \u0026 Tutoring This book looks at the relationship between school inspection and school improvement. The authors show how heads have used inspectorsâ² reports to put in place real school improvement. They deal with the contexts of inspection and comparisons are made with the Australian experience of school self-review. The book focuses on how schools have developed a culture of self-inspection. The authors consider the system of OfSTED inspections and ask how beneficial inspection has been in encouraging schools to develop and improve. They suggest there is need for a change and that there are alternative approaches to school assessment and improvement, which could be more effective. They argue that the schoolâ²s own evaluation processes should play a greater part in the arrangements for inspection. Improving Schools and Inspection will be essential reading for headteachers and other professionals engaged in dealing with inspections.
