Results, effects and the consequences of the school evaluation results – for school, headmaster. • The results are supposed to be opportunity to improve our work, to develope new strategies for achieving our goals, to be better. • Interpretation and understanding of the results can be a big problem. • Self evaluation is a mirror. And we don't necessarily like the image we see in it. Sometimes it hurts. • Self evaluation is effective only if the need comes from school itself.
