The book begins with a comparative analysis of the rise of school and teacher evaluation, charting the trend's conceptual and political influences, and highlights how the concept of self-evaluation has come, for a variety of reasons, to play a surprisingly large role in the emerging approaches to school and teacher evaluation. This is illustrated by a detailed analysis of the emerging system of whole-school evaluation in Ireland. Research indicates that while self-evaluation looms large in the system's theoretical framework, in fact, there is strong evidence that neither schools nor teachers have the expertise required to systematically self-evaluate. This book identifies methodologies designed to empower schools and teachers to become genuinely self-evaluating through the development of research skills in the context of online communities of practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48682096525547,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":103.27,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780820486383-1.jpg?v=1781642269","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780820486383","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
