Healthy evaluation practice is a central part of innovation in teaching and learning.

Core evaluation techniques

Core resources on evaluation can be found at the Department’s Evaluation Resource Hub.

This includes practical advice for schools on:

• evaluative thinking
• logic modelling
• evaluation planning
• turning data into evidence
• collecting data.

Complementary evaluation techniques

In addition, here are some complementary techniques that schools may find useful when testing prototypes and engaging the school community in evaluative processes:

• most significant change
• using videos and photos as data – photo voice, photo elicitation and video capture
• using student products as data
• student shadowing.
