Sustainable School Self-evaluation Tool
s3 is a Sustainable School Self-evaluation tool for primary, middle and secondary schools. It has been designed for everyone involved in education - teachers, school leaders, pupils, governors, education authorities and parents. A whole-school approach to self-evaluation offers valuable opportunities to develop the skills and competencies everyone needs in order to become a sustainable school.
The s3 tool enables those involved in sustainable development to document their efforts and report the improvements and benefits to the school and community. It follows the same sequence of headings found in the 2005 Ofsted SEF and helps schools organise the information they need to write evaluative statements and identify key priorities for development.

Active Learning Practices for Schools ALPS
http://learnweb.harvard.edu/alps/
ALPS, or Active Learning Practices for Schools, is a site dedicated to the improvement of education. The site is organized into seven distinct sections: backpack, look, reflect, explore, build, connect, and learn. ALPS is produced the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Some areas of the site require registration.
ALPS, Active Learning Practice for Schools, is an electronic community dedicated to the improvement and advancement of educational instruction and practice. Our mission is to create an on-line collaborative environment between teachers and administrators from around the world with educational researchers, professors, and curriculum designers at Harvard's Graduate School of Education and Project Zero.
The ALPS site is as wide as it is deep. Each of the three regions within the ALPS site has it own resources for cultivating active learning practice in schools. But rest assured the ALPS site is unified in its educational philosophy and vision: that students must be active, engaged, and thoughtful participants in their own education. Each region offers a wealth of pedagogical terrain to explore.
