School Self Evaluation provides opportunities for schools to examine their own practice within their own context and to report on their strengths and areas for improvement to their own school community. It brings benefits to teachers as they share experiences and ideas and helps them to become even more effective in their classrooms. It brings benefits to students as they have a say in what works for them and what would help them to learn. It brings benefits to the school as all teachers focus on the same small number of strategies for improvement. A school self-evaluation of teaching and learning in Ennis National School was undertaken for the period from September 2018 – June 2019. It was decided that our School Self Evaluation would be used to support the introduction and implementation of the School Well Being Framework, where we will focus on the setting up and embedding of Well Being initiatives in Ennis National School.
