“raise the bar and close the gap”
→ ‘Education for All’ – on very large scale
→ large number of change agents needed
→ self evaluation of school staff
→ reflective teachers / principals
→ big change – huge challenge
Change of school culture
 Collaborative
 Outward looking – parents / community
 With professional authority but not controlling
 Life Long Learning for All
 De-privatisation of classrooms
“It’s a process in which we, by using self-evaluation
and reflections about our thoughts and actions, come
to revelations which are sometimes painful, often
exciting, and always useful for personal and
professional growth and development”.
“Supporting people, expanding self-perception,
developing communication skills, seeing perspective
of other people, solving conflicts, improvement in
dealing with stress at work.”
