Responses from our Principals after their first reports

"This was the first year that our school actually reached all the goals on our School's Strategic Improvement Plan."

"No one has ever taken the time to explain the outcome of our School audit like this and to discuss the Report with our SMT. Now we have something to work with."

About Compass Calibration

In 2022 Dr Henk Punt (a retired circuit manager) and an Industrial Psychologist at Camino Consulting created a manual Calibration Survey and Feedback Reports (with qualitative and quantitative measurements) for Strong Schools. Their objective was to create an instrument which measures the basic functionality of each School, in order to identify gaps and challenges.

This process was introduced to the first Support Hub Schools, who completed and submitted the necessary information. A Feedback Report for each of the Schools was written and feedback sessions were held at each School with their Senior Management Team members. It is now used as a Strategic Tool for planning and towards necessary interventions.

The process started with Google Forms and manually-generated Reports. The discussions and process to automate this Strategic Tool started at the beginning of 2023.

"DIRECTION (not intention) will determine your School’s DESTINATION."

Calibrating your School’s compass will help the leadership team to adjust your direction towards excellence.

Compass Calibration - A Strategic Tool

A whole-school evaluation with automated reporting - designed to evaluate and align your School’s strategic plans - in order for your School to become a healthy, strong and effective School.

DISCOVER - where your school is at the moment and what the challenges are
ALIGN – the findings in the report with your strategic goals
SUCCEED - by following your adjusted direction, plans and goals

This tool will give your Senior Management Team a balanced view across four main areas, which determine the effectiveness of your whole School.

It identifies challenges, provides your School with knowledge and enables your School to determine required interventions.
