EPS2.0 Whole School Evaluation
The term killer application is perhaps overused but this one deserves the accolade. Core education NZ have created a very powerful tool which allows the whole school to 'hold
a mirror' up to itself. Carefully developed over 8 years it is currently being employed in hundreds of New Zealand schools and attracted considerable interest in the UK in the past month. The information it generates, with minimal time input, is displayed in a straightforward and readily understood way.
Dr Julia Atkin explains how she has employed 20 years of experience in this field
EPS2.0 is an online self review tool for use with whole school review and development. Where a GPS (global positional system) allows you to know where you are in space, the EPS (educational positioning system) allows you to know where you are in relation to educational development. EPS2.0 works by having all staff (and others in the school community) complete an online survey. This input is anonymous, with all entries then collated to provide a 'snapshot' of where the school is at. This 'snapshot' is represented in a variety of ways that can be interrogated and explored further to assist with encouraging dialogue and participation among staff and the school community in determining a way forward.
