mines still looking at me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......... still there's always tomorrow,
Seriously though, depending on what kind of setting you are -you need to look at these things in perspective....
Since I've been at current setting we've always done a kind of self evalution ( During my training I was lucky enough to be envolved with the ELLs project at an early stage) and it is something that I always carry at the back of my mind)......... eventalully the self eval becomes somthing that is part of everyday life at the setting, you probably do it anyway - questioning what you do and why............. even making sure you have the correct pol + proc on a regualr basis makes you question why you do certain things and how you can improve - and can help you from getting stuck in a rut.
For me the most important thing is to get the staff fully involved. Where I am now the staff seriously lack personal development skills -as the last owner was a total control freak and wouod not allow staff have any real input. That said this is where the 'crunch' comes - how on earth do you find the time + money for wages to allow full staff imput??
I could sit (in my own) and probaly do it in and wiz through it in a couple of hours (because I'm familiar with the process) but what's the point of that??? We need full staff input for it to be effective, and to do this I know would taken much, much longer, and with lots more people - and our setting for one cannot really afford this luxury, so in reality- I will fill it in - and we will just have to gloss over it at our next trainning day. Our LA allows us one child free session a term fully funded, so we'll jsut have to run through it there, however in two and half hours, with the need to do other bits+bobs I don't think we'll do it much justice.
Rant over!!!!!!!!! .....apologise for spelling and bad grammar
