Semester Evaluation

Due to the pandemic, in-person evaluations were suspended, and online evaluations took their place. However, due to the acknowledgement by the World Health Organization that the Covid-19 pandemic is now over, representatives from Griggs International Academy are being welcomed back to schools to resume in-person evaluations. Ms. Lisa Kerr, the Academic Director of Griggs China, has the privilege of conducting this semester’s evaluations and meeting with students and faculty members.

Purpose

Every Griggs affiliate school is evaluated each semester in accordance with the educational guidelines and standards of Griggs International Academy. During the evaluations, school facilities, equipment, and resources are inspected to ensure they adhere to GIA standards. Affiliate school objectives and school curricula are observed as well as the quality of teaching, moral education, and student support services. Guidance and recommendations are given to schools to ensure they are on a constant journey of excellence.

Criteria

The GIA School Evaluations cover 21 specific areas:

1. School Facilities

2. Health and Safety

3. Sanitary Facilities

4. Functions of School Administration

5. School Enrollment

6. Home and School Functions

7. Philosophy and Objectives

8. School Finance

9. Teacher Quality

10. Teaching Equipment and Aids

11. Textbooks

12. Library

13. School Program and Curricula

14. Philosophy of Enrollment

16. Moral Education Program

17. Student Attitude

18. Teacher(s) Attitude

19. Excursions/Off Campus Programs

20. Local Community Public Relations

Lesson observations, meetings with students, faculty, and administrators, online surveys, document audits and general observations allow the evaluator to determine if each criterion has been fulfilled.

Rating

Each category is rated as follows:

Poor – Less than 30% of objectives met

Needs Improvement – 50% of objectives met

Good – Between 50% and 80% of objectives met

Outstanding – Above 80% of objectives met

Outcome

A recommendation then follows each rating where appropriate. Specific areas of concern will be noted, and a GIA or local remedy offered. The outcomes of the evaluations will be shared with school administrators within a month of the completion of the evaluation. In-person evaluations allow us to see the true quality of the GIA programs and feel the sense of community that has been established by our schools.
