Framework

Planning
Based on the school aims, latest development in education and needs of students, schools work out the School Development Plan (SDP), usually spanning across three years, including major concerns, targets, time frame and outline of strategies.

Implementation
Every school year, schools work out the Annual School Plan (ASP) according to the major concerns and targets of the SDP, set concrete implementation strategies and success criteria, as well as continuously monitor the work effectiveness.

Evaluation
Towards the end of the year, schools evaluate the performance and effectiveness of their work in different areas, prepare the School Report (SR) and report to the stakeholders to enhance transparency and accountability in the spirit of school-based management.

Making use of the evaluation to inform planning
Using the seven learning goals as the focus for reflection, together with the integrative use of Performance Indicators for Hong Kong Schools, as well as school self-evaluation (SSE) information and data, schools should holistically evaluate how good they are doing in nurturing the desired qualities in students, which reflects their effectiveness in improving student learning outcomes. This will then facilitate schools’ forward planning for continuous improvement through the P-I-E cycle, including strengthening the work related to the seven learning goals, such as national identity and healthy lifestyle.

To enhance students' academic and non-academic performance through continuous school self-evaluation and improvement.
