TEACHING AND NON-TEACHING STAFF

What is the Effective School Framework (ESF)? The ES framework is founded on the principles of inclusiveness, student-centeredness and democratic participation. This framework provides a systematic approach to address all the elements that impact the delivery of an effective education for all students.

What areas does the Framework focus on? The Framework focuses on the implementation of: „„ Positive Behavioural Management Techniques „„ Healthy and Health Promoting Practices – including Sports for Development and the teaching of Health and Family Life Education „„ Student Centered Education „„ Effective School Leadership and Management „„ Inclusive Child Seeking Non-Discriminatory Practices „„ Staff Professional Development „„ Gender-Sensitive and Friendly Environment „„ Spiritual Care „„ Safe, Protective and Nurturing Environment

My school is already implementing school improvement initiatives. Can we still benefit from implementing the Framework? Yes. All schools already have several good initiatives; ESF principles do not replace or compete with existing initiatives but provides an framework for integration and consolidation of resources. In a climate of scare resources, this holistic approach can prove to be a cost effective and efficient way of coordinating the implementation of practices which lead to more effective schools.

What positive results can I expect as a result of implementing the framework at the secondary level? All educational stakeholders benefit when schools implement the ES Framework. The table identifies some of the associated benefits for teachers and students:

STUDENTS

4. Develop a plan to improve/enhance school 5. Communicate and implement the plan with the full participation of all stakeholders

6. Monitor and evaluate their efforts

ABOUT THE EFFECTIVE SCHOOLS FRAMEWORK (ESF)

It is not recommended that the principal function as the CFS team leader, however his/her participation on the team is vital to achieving positive outcomes.

What is the role of the school team? The team is the driving force behind the implementation process at the school. They harness support for its implementation and lead the school in designing, implementing and monitoring the action plan. It should be noted however, that the responsibility for implementation rests with all stakeholders as their support is needed for the framework to be successfully applied.

Do schools need additional resources to implement the ES Framework? Implementing the Framework is about better use of existing resources, not about adding new ones. As such, schools implementing the Framework have implemented practices which are sustainable and cost effective. Where necessary they have sought to create a support base among members of the community, local businesses and the school’s existing fundraising committee.
