Description¶

The report is 'specially prepared to assist in self-assessment and long-term planning.' It states that information about where a school is and how it is developing can help the school assess its progress and plan for the future, and that it 'can prove invaluable in carrying out an internal program review as part of the preparations for the School Improvement Plan for Advancing Academic Achievement (SIPAAA).' Survey data also supplement analyses of test scores and performance indicators to identify effective classroom practices and school organizational characteristics.
