Whole-School Self-Evaluation for EAL Provision 

What is it? 

The Bell Foundation's Whole-School Self-Evaluation Toolkit assists schools as they reflect upon their current EAL provision, identify areas of strength and need, and consider actions for improving their provision for learners who use English as an Additional Language (EAL). The process is developmental in nature and highly collaborative. 

What is included?

The toolkit provides forms and accompanying guidance to enable schools to conduct a comprehensive self-evaluation of their EAL provision, including planning for next steps in developing the provision.
