TRUSTING SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS - GERRY MCNAMARA ...

Trusting Schools and Teachers: Developing Educational Professionalism Through Self-Evaluation
emerged from a series of studies undertaken with teachers at various stages of their careers
exploring the impact of a range of evaluation systems on their personal and professional
development. 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.
