Of Uniform Appearance: a symbol of school discipline and governmentality

The very garments that in some places are given them (children), and their maintenance in all of them by charity, are the constant badges and proofs of their dependence and poverty; and should therefore teach them humility and their parents thankfulness.

(Samuel Harmar, 1642, cited in Pinchebeck & Hewitt, 1969)

     

发展性评估与普通高中的转型性变革

发展性学校评估是为了学校发展、关于学校发展和在学校发展中进行的评估。从"示范性高中评估"向"发展性高中评估"的转变,不是一种评估模式对另一种评估模式的取代,而是多元化评估制度的创造性生成。普通高中发展是高中整体性进步的过程,但核心是学校的价值提升与能力成长。为了促进普通高中的转型性变革,新的发展性评估指标体系凸显了"评估标准+评估指标(价值观+能力+绩效)+自我定义"的过程取向,提出了"价值观指标"、"行动性指标"和"自定义指标"新概念,倡导一种以积聚力量为核心的"保旧立新"学校发展策略。
