“Teamwork is the ability to work together
toward a common vision, the ability to
direct individual accomplishments toward
organizational objectives. It is the fuel that
allows common people to attain uncommon
results.”
Henry Ford, US industrialist
INTRODUCTION
There is now an emerging consensus that there is an urgent need to reform education systems to promote greater
equity and excellence in education for the 21st century. Furthermore most countries are also seeking to promote a
broader range of skills and dispositions, including the development of critical thinking, imagination, cross-cultural
and global awareness, creativity, and civic engagement. However it is widely recognised that policies will only
succeed when there is stronger capacity at the school level to raise the efficacy of teaching and to enhance student
learning. The goal must be excellent teaching for every child.
How to achieve consistency in teaching quality has therefore become central to the agenda of most countries.
Teacher- evaluation systems are part of this agenda. Despite the often contentious nature of discussions about
teacher evaluation in some countries, there are in fact broad areas of agreement between governments and teachers’
organizations that create building blocks for moving forward. Certainly the current evaluation systems in many
countries are simply checklists that generate paperwork without leading to meaningful improvement which need
to be revamped. Indeed the fact that more than a quarter of teachers do not receive any feedback on their teaching,
and that 95 percent receive satisfactory ratings even where student achievement is lacking, suggests the need for
change. The question facing most countries is not whether to have a teacher-evaluation system but how to get it
right.
The Centre of Excellence programme will focus on developing a Kazakhstani specific teacher evaluation
system.
METAPHORS FOR EXPLAINING THE CHANGE
PROCESS: MAGNETS, GLUE AND DRIVERS
School Leaders from around the world who have transformed school practice think of the critical development
components of the process as magnets, glue and drivers.
— Magnets refer to the forces, intentions and expected benefits that attract the leaders and teachers to try out
new ways of working. What this means is that development is more likely to be successful if leaders and teachers
enter into partnerships voluntarily and when all the people involved are determined to work together to develop
pupils’ learning. In the early stages of leadership development, and particularly during school - based period 1 it
will be a good idea for you to identify and work with people who are enthusiastic about changing practice, who
are able to work together and who are determined to make the new approaches work. This group will be the key
development team.
— Glue consists of the factors that keep this development team together and prevent the partnership
from falling apart. When teams are set up, the glue is strongest at the top. However to sustain and extend the
development work leadership must be distributed throughout the school team network and activity carried out
over a long period, consequently glue is also needed throughout the development team. When team members feel
part of the decision-making process and are expected to do their job well and are trusted as professional teachers
they are more likely to take on an extra development role. What this means is that glue is about developing a
culture in which people all work together to make the development work succeed so that pupils learning is the
focus of development.
— Drivers are the factors that leaders contribute to the process of development and in establishing school
networks. This is underpinned by leaders who constantly remind the development team of the moral purpose of
the development. In the case of the leadership programme it is to support and encourage those who are working on
development activities, to make mid-course corrections and adaptations, and to propel the partnership forward by
introducing new opportunities and challenges. Without drivers, development loses focus, or member of the team
can become complacent.
The school-based tasks presented here in this booklet are the devices through which school leaders will bring
together ‘magnets, glue and drivers’ so that classroom practice will be focused on pupils’ learning.

Ethical Code of Conduct
When collecting and handling school data for your portfolio it is important that you conduct your research in
an ethical manner, especially when sharing data with others. When working with other school leaders and trainers
it will be vital that you adhere to the following strict code of conduct.
Informed consent
This means that participants (those from whom data is being collected e.g. pupils, parents and teachers) know
why data is being collected about/from them and that you reassure them the data will not be shared with other
people beyond the project and that their repsonse is a vital part of the overall school developemnt process. You can
provide this assurance a) Verbally, through face-to-face discussions, telephone conversations and meetings; and b)
by Written means including letters, information sheets, forms, notes, reply slips and statements.
Privacy
One of the reasons why participants might be uneasy about leaders collecting their data is because they are
anxious about their loss of privacy or that they may be judged harshly by the school leadership. There are two
ways that Principals can protect the privacy of participants: a) Anonymity means ‘without a name’ and refers to the
way in which Principals present their data and uses it in their assessed work. b) Confidentiality is guaranteed when
Principals are able to identify a given participant’s responses in their data but promise to not let others ‘connect’
participants with their responses. This means that they will not make comments in their Portfolio linked to a name
or a location that others can e.g. the identity of participants e.g. ‘The male teachers in the school think…’ or the
place (e.g. the city) where the data was collected.
Principals must not discuss data from other schools beyond the programme, which they may have been able
to share in face-to-face session. Principals may wish to reflect on these ethical considerations in their reflective
writing for their Portfolio to demonstrate how they have gathered their data in a fair, open and honest manner.
The next section summaries what you will do at each section of the programme. The activity column summarises
what will be done at each stage. The outcome row section summarises the written documents produced at the end
of the process. The final row sets out what should be included in the assessed portfolio.
There will be further details about each stage following the summary table.

BRINGING ABOUT CHANGE IN YOUR OWN SCHOOL
A) Pre-course tasks
Before you arrive at the first face-to-face seminar you will have collected data about your own school. The
instructions for this are in the Pre course task booklet. We have asked you to survey part of your school. The
outcomes of the pre course task will provide you with only a partial audit of your school. However this partial
audit will serve as a useful starting point for the first stages of the Action Research School Development Planning
process.
B) Data Analysis
One of the first things you will do will be to reduce this raw data into a series of more manageable tables and
summaries. Then you will analyse the data and interpret the data to present key findings in the form of a reflective
account of between 700 – 1000 words. This analysis will be used in the first face to face session to prepare a
presentation of the key findings. Your trainer will provide you with formative feedback.
C) Preparing the Teaching and Learning strand of a school development plan for use during school
based period 1.
This planning process will be discussed in detail during the seminars; you will be supported by your trainer and
also in a School Development Planning supplementary guide available on the portal. The outcome from the first
face-to-face seminar will be a detailed school development plan for the Teaching and Learning strand, which will
include action, implementation and evaluation details.
What you will do during school - based period 1
The self-reflection of your school using data collected prior to starting the programme will be used in the face
to face seminars. This will help you to identify strategic priorities for the first small scale school development
which you will carry out during the first school based period. Trainers will work with you using the Centre of
Excellence model of School Development Planning (Figure 1) and use criteria for identifying which areas of the
school need to develop (See Appendix 2).

For example:
The school self-evaluation has identified that pupils in Grade 7 are not engaged in learning and parents have
also verified this in their survey responses. Figure 2 shows the process you will carry out with the support of your
trainer to solve this problem.
To do this classroom teachers will be supported by more experienced teachers who will coach them in how to
change and evaluate their classroom practice. You as Principal will work closely with other senior teachers in your
team to support the coaching team to carry out the pupil focussed development process. Appendix 3 provides level
descriptors to help you discuss teacher competences. The School Development Planning Guide also provides other
indicators to help inform discussions with the deputy principal and coaching teams.
By the end of the first school-based period you will have collected data about the coaching process and the
outcomes of the classroom development. See Figure 3 for a summary of the data, which might be collected

D) Implement School development plan
1) Mentor deputy principal or level one teacher to work with you in the development team.
2) Develop smart action targets with the development team.
3) Identify the coaching team and the focus of their teaching
4) Develop a series of coaching plans for level 2 and methodologist to use with classroom teachers
5) Introduce coaching plans to introduce Lesson Study to support the work of a small group of classroom
teachers.
6) Coaching team to support classroom teachers in preparing medium term planning of teaching sequences
which include the seven themes.
E) Evaluate development plan
1) Record the mentor meeting notes with the deputy principal.
2) Monitor the coaching process and record details of the plans and meetings and targets set.
3) Monitor the Lesson Study process.
4) Monitor the changes in classroom teaching
-medium term sequences
- lesson evaluations
- lesson observations
- pupil evaluations
- pupils’ work
F) Synthesize evidence
Review emerging evidence collected in the classroom during meetings, classroom observations. Reduce the
data and synthesize the findings into a reflective account of 1,000 words. Provide tables and graphs. Include data
in the appendices.
H) Preparing the Teaching and Learning strand of a school development plan for use during school
based period 2.
During the second face to face seminars you will analyse the outcomes of the school based research you have
undertaken during the first school-based period. You will start by writing a second reflective account of 1,500
words, which will summarise the key findings of this first cycle of an action research school development planning
process.
Furthermore you will also be introduced to international models of school wide teacher development so that we
can develop strategies, which will work in a Kazakhstani context.
I) Second School Development Plan
By the end of the second seminar programme you will have developed a second but more extensive School
Development Plan which will be the second cycle of the Action Research Process. The second plan will include
strategies for developing all teachers in your teaching team through active teacher evaluation, which is also called
appraisal in international contexts.
Appraisal is defined as the process of teacher’s work being reviewed by the principal, or by his or her colleagues.
This appraisal can be conducted in a range of ways from a more formal, objective approach (e.g. involving set
procedures and criteria) to the more informal, more subjective approach (e.g. through informal discussions with
the teacher).
•
This appraisal process will provide you with details of each teachers’ strengths and limitations and the
direction in which teachers will need support to develop their classroom practice. The OECD Teacher survey
(See Appendix 4) will be a useful tool to find out about the starting point of teachers’ views of Professional
Development at the start and the end of the development process.
•
You should issue the TALSI survey to your team at the end of the school based period 1.
J-O) Second school based period
During the second school based period you will be supported by your trainer in two ways, firstly by weekly
email or Skype and by a face-to-face visit to your school. You will also have access to on line Forum where you
will be able to post questions. Furthermore support will be available via the peer network set up during face-to-face
one seminars.
Implementation of school development Plan 2
Your trainers will at the mid point of the period after the first three months of the development to review
your interim report (K) and to provide formative feedback. Therefore you will need to write an interim reflective
103
account of 1,000 words to provide an update on the progress of the developmental process. Your role during the
school based stage will be to support the implementation of the school development plan and to monitor this
process (J). Towards the end of the process you will also need to survey the teachers again using the TALIS survey
(M). At the end of the process you will synthesis all the findings (N). This will include teachers medium term
plans, coaching plans, an update on the introduction of the teacher support programme and a summary of your key
findings at the mid point and also at the end of the six months. Finally at the end of the six months you will need to
write a final report (O) which will include an update on the mid-point report as well as survey data about pupils and
their parents views and teachers views about the development programme. Additionally you should also include
evidence about pupils learning in classrooms drawing on suggested data collection methods in the monitoring and
evaluation handbook.
By the end of the six months you will be asked to submit parts A-O set out in this document. This will be
assessed by CoE trainers and this process will be moderated by CPM experts and also potentially by International
external examiners.
