Benchmarking as a school improvement tool
For some schools, improving performance has proved to be an intractable challenge. We know that school improvement teams are working hard. We also know that these teams need additional tools and resources.
Improvement planning involves setting explicit targets, identifying strategies to achieve those targets and allocating resources to implement the improvement strategies. Benchmarking is a process designed to help school leaders complete these tasks. Using a mathematical approach, schoolbenchmarking.com pairs schools with their “best-in-class” peers and provides tools and resources to help draw insights from these high performers.
The graphic below demonstrates how benchmarking can support and accelerate a school’s improvement efforts.
In simple terms, schoolbenchmarking.com lets school leaders know
- How well their schools are doing
- How much they could improve
- Where they can go to find out how to improve
