Every Implementation Requires Quality And Consistency

Service, Quality, Monitoring and Improvement
Every implementation of the HighScope Preschool Wheel of Learning© and our own Principle 1-7-8© requires quality and consistency. Redea Institute ensures the quality and consistency of its implementation through the Service, Quality Management and Improvement (SQMI) department, which works on a daily basis with teachers and principals in our network of schools. SQMI assesses every component of the approach through daily observation and gives periodic feedback to principals who will in turn give feedback to teachers to improve their teaching implementation.
The SQMI department is also responsible to report any concept implementation that is misunderstood by teachers and/or principals or requires fine tuning to the Training, Research, and Development Department (TRD). The field implementation report contains valuable input for teachers’ and leaders’ ongoing improvement to ensure quality education for all students in our school network.
Leadership Development Program
One of the key ingredients of good student achievement – and as such the successful implementation of the school program – is school leadership. Principalship determines the quality implementation of the HighScope approach in all aspects of a HighScope Indonesia school.
As part of its commitment to quality education, Redea Institute ensures that all leaders within our school network consistently lead and manage their schools to provide high-quality education, according to the standard, through the leadership development program.
The program consists of a series of training sessions about how to become an effective instructional leader, who at the same time must also wear hats as the operational and strategic leader. These training sessions consist of theoretical aspects and field implementation during which principals receive regular feedback on their duties in managing the school resources and leading their teachers.
The training sessions also equip principals with a tool to ensure quality implementation to their teachers (Quality Assessment System) and a tool to monitor their leadership practice on a daily basis by using the leadership assessment system. Both tools are also used by the SQMI team from Redea Institute and school director as the guideline to monitor school quality, provide feedback and plan ongoing training for principals to improve their principalship.
