5. Self Study The school (and all stakeholders) will determine its own assessment of the implementation of the programme, according to the Programme standards and practices and programme requirements Action Planning The school incorporates the findings of the Self Study within its action plan for the next 5 years. Essentially we will identify major achievements during the period under review and identify practices that need further development. IB Visit A team of 2/3 IB experienced teachers/administrators will visit the school. After analysis of the self- study questionnaire, the supporting documents and the findings of the school visit, the IB will send a final report which will reflect on the self study submitted by the school, including the process and the conclusions that the school reached. The team may submit commendations and recommendations which should be incorporated within the action plan for the next 5 years. DP Evaluation

6. The Self Study Questionnaire in seven parts. Designed to allow the school to reflect on progress made. Designed so that the school can project future areas for growth. Input from all stakeholders is necessary in order that a broad spectrum of opinions is represented.

Existing school documentation Should relate directly to Programme Standards and Practices Will be provided by the school Draws on your own experience as a stakeholder Informs analysis of questionnaire data before creating action plan Will be presented to the evaluation team, if required Evidence

11. Action Planning Format Evidence of achievement or progress towards objective Budgetary implications Person/group responsible for achieving objective Date to be achieved Actions Objective (from analysis of self study data)

12. What goes into determining the objectives/actions needed? Gather evidence Collate & analyse data Reflect on which areas seem most in need Prioritise Determine actions needed
