As schools are set to resume by ending of September.Schools need to evaluate the grade in which they fall into and stepping up their games from that ordinary school to become a great school.Schools are springing up everyday and parents now have lists of options to choose from.
Some aspects just good schools should check on this holiday to cross over to great schools and make their school a highly competitive one.
*How secure and safe is your school?Have trained staffs or retrain your staff on how to keep the school secured from security and health threats.With the Ebola virus outbreak,schools should put in place measures that can curb the virus from spreading.such as purchasing a temperate scanner,lots of hand sanitizers,toilet washers and make sure everyone washes hands regularly.
*Does your staff know the schools vision and missions.from the lowest staff to the highest rank staff should clearly know what the vision and missions of the school and understand why they need to represent the school goals towards achieving a great school.
*What do you expect of your pupils/students.ln great schools every child is believed to have great potentials to become a successful child.This entails giving every child the opportunity to get involved in the class,ask for feedback and always willing to re-teach aspects not clearly mastered by the children.Dishing out encouraging comments that boost the self esteem and confidence of the students.
*Conduct frequent evaluation.Regular evaluation of student performance keeps both the student and teacher abreast of the performance level of the child.Thereby making the students studious and a yardstick for searching for ways of improving the student.
*Good relationship between the school and parent.Parents want schools where they can be reassured of their child's comfort and upbringing both academically and morally.But this can be only attained where there is a good relationship between the teacher,school and the parents.when parents work in collaboration with the teacher this foster a progression in the children.Great schools recognize this effective strategy and work towards it.
*Understanding the pupils/students level of intelligence and methods in which they learn.Great schools device means of reaching out to various child's needs by employing trained teachers who can reach out to various needs and key concept of teaching the children.
*Equip facilities that can aid teaching for the teachers and learning process for the student.Great schools also train and retrain their staffs on how to use these facilities for effective learning process.Plan field trips and workshops to help students interact and see the practical aspects of what is being thought in the class
*Influencing Leader.Great schools have leaders who inspires,influences ,brings out the best in their staffs and gets involve in activities that can create a conducive atmosphere for both staffs and children.The leader of the school has to also take charge of accessing the schools performance at the end of each terms to be able to re strategize where things are lacking and continue aspects that are striving well.
