coACTION QA Guide: Module 6

Page 7 /24 Session 2: Evaluating the Results With your updated Sensor results in hand, this session invites you to pause and explore what the data really tells you. Numbers and colour codes are just the beginning — behind them lie stories, shifts in mindset, small victories, and areas that still need care. Evaluation is not only about assessing progress — it’s about making sense of change together. This is a chance for your project group to bring different perspectives into the room, listen actively, and interpret results in a way that honours both data and experience. By looking closely at your school’s evolution, you begin to answer important questions: What’s working? What’s growing? And where do we still want to go? Taking time to reflect as a team Now that your school has re-applied the coACTION Sensor and gathered new data, it’s time to reflect on what the results are telling you. This session is all about looking at progress—not just numbers, but the meaningful shifts in culture, values, and participation that the Sensor helps highlight. The results are most powerful when they are reviewed together—as a school project group, leadership team, or even in student-led groups. The process encourages dialogue, ownership, and shared responsibility for democratic growth. What the Results show As you revisit your traffic light data—Red, Orange, and Green—you will see how each subarea and quality area is developing: o Red=Starting level: few signs of democratic practice. o Orange= Developing level: elements are present and emerging. o Green= Established level: strong, consistent practice is in place. Comparing your old results with the new ones reveals your school’s democratic trajectory. These changes often reflect the quiet, determined efforts of pupils, teachers, and school leaders working together over time.
