How Good Is Our College? First Edition
Education Scotland
The new quality framework, "How good is our college?" is a tool to support and enable colleges to evaluate the quality of provision and services alongside reporting on progress in relation to outcome agreements. It is designed to be used by all college staff. Colleges will evaluate the quality of their provision and services using the 12 quality indicators (QIs) to produce and submit an annual Evaluative Report and Enhancement Plan to Education Scotland and Scottish Funding Council for formal, independent endorsement. The framework aligns with a suite of Education Scotland quality improvement frameworks to support external stakeholders to engage with colleges to review and enhance the quality of provision and services. In addition, the arrangements seek to foster increased collaboration across colleges and other educational providers to exemplify and share excellent practice across sectors. This will contribute to the bank of resources available through the Education Scotland National Improvement Hub. A Glossary of terms is appended.
