COOPERATIVE SCHOOL EVALUATION PROJECT<br />

FORWARD<br />

Foreword<br />

I welcome the <strong>Co</strong>operative <strong>School</strong> <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Project</strong> (CSEP) report as an innovative contribution to international<br />

cooperation in education evaluation. The indicators on the evaluation of non-curricular school policies designed by<br />

the project are equally applicable in an in-school context and in a system evaluation context. The project also<br />

demonstrates that it is possible to design international indicators that respect the cultural cadences which colour our<br />

country education systems. Indeed a further outcome of the project is that national mechanisms for evaluating aspects<br />

of school development planning at school and system levels can be enhanced through international cooperation in<br />

indicator development. I have no doubt that the project indicators will be of strong practical use to many key players<br />

in education such as teachers, school management interests, parents, students and policy makers. I would like to<br />

record a sincere thanks to the education authorities of Norway, Finland and Ireland for their strong support for the<br />

CSEP project and I trust that the project publication will be of use to many other countries.<br />
