Dear Facilitator,

Monitoring and Evaluation  should be clearly stated as improving teaching and learning and not for fault findings.

. For teachers to be confident in ownership of the M and E they should be involved in designing the tool.

. Staff be sensitized on the use of the M and E and how the data will be collected before the monitoring.

. Always begin with the strengths before the areas for improvements.

. Encourage self assessment and peer review to reduce fear.


Head teachers should involve staff in designing the M and E tool. This will give them ownership of the tool.

Head teachers should clarify to the staff that M and E is there to improve standards and not to report or make punishments.

. Ensure M and E focuses on strengths and on steps that are agreed on before improvement areas.

. The framework be simple, clear and align to with the curriculum.

. Staff assessment and reflection be included in the framework. This will reduce the sense of command from the top.

When teachers understand that M and E is for growth and improvement rather than punishment, they will feel empowered . This will lead to improve teaching quality and learner out comes.

Regards
