Today we might press our luck a bit with the school improvement ideas. At five this PM we will be meeting with the senior pastor, principal, an interpreter, and the vice principal. Although we are not sure of the agenda (the meeting isn´t mine) I think the topic will be approaches to school improvement.
One of the remote possibilities is to look at what it takes to become an accredited school. This is a long shot and may not go any place because we have so far to go. I am recalling in about 1991 we were at this point in Bahrain. The project was a full four year project to become an accredited school. Again we had resources to do it there. Here, it would be a shoe string operation at best.
A major problem here is we have no pratice in answering the question of ¨what does an excellent school look like?¨ We can use the general categories commonly used by most any accrediting organization to give an idea of what characteristics as good school has. I have downloaded some samples from the internet. I hope to find additional examples in Spanish.
A report on this difficult question and how the group today handled it will be forth coming.
