q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
In the interview study of 14 key officials, participants contrasted the new framework's annual performance dashboards and ongoing indicators with the 2010–2016 era, when five-year review cycles left schools feeling "in the dark" between reviews. Officials reported reduced surprise and stress under the new system. No effect sizes are reported.
"The new performance framework offers transparency and predictability, which clarifies evaluation criteria and delivers continuous performance data. This reduces stress and enables schools to focus on continuous improvement rather than last-minute fixes."
