John MacBeath O.B.E. is Professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of Schools Must Speak for Themselves (Routledge, 1999) and numerous books on self-evaluation and school improvement. Archie McGlynn was formerly HMCI in the Scottish Executive Education Department, and is currently a Director of the International Network for Educational Improvement and put in place the self-evaluation guidelines, ‘How Good is Our School?’.
'They provide an excellent resume of the progress UK schools have made in school improvement, setting out the principles for self-evaluation, and make a particularly good case for the importance of context.' - Times Educational Supplement 'Self evaluation is very readable and packs much into its 150 pages ... The book is very accessible and clearly set out with questions posed throughout to stimulate reflections and discussion. It might be read alone and/or used in collaboration with colleagues as a preparation for external inspection. More usefully in my view it can be used to encourage the notion that continuous self-evaluation makes for a more open and transparent culture, one in which each person is valued for what they contribute.' - Educational Review 'For the practitioner, there are numerous helpful, ready-to-use examples of self-evaluation instruments ... that could be used in school and classroom contexts ... Overall this is a valuable discussion of the how and why of school self-evaluation and there is no doubt that teachers, headteachers and others would benefit from extracting practical instruments and ideas from the various chapters of this book.' - Educational Research 'Self evaluation is very readable and packs much into its 150 pages ...
