Abstract

The DPI has pursued a policy of visiting schools that have volunteered to be evaluated in terms of seeking ways to improve their instructional program. From this e aluation1 changes in practice can be instituted or a continuation of existing worthy practices c n go on with some assurance that acceptable quality exists. A planned school evaluation is a systematic inclusive study of the school program, including its cumulative impact, which seeks to discover its strengths and weaknesses. Involvement of staff in the self-study process is at the heart of a successful school evaluation. Each school system evaluated agrees to undergo extensive committee reparation using the handbook Self-Evaluative Criteria for Iowa Schools as a guide. The visiting committee action is but one phase of a year or longer study.
