Page 8 /24 How to evaluate progress Use the same structure you followed during your first sensor reflection. Keep subareas matched exactly, this allows for fair and meaningful comparisons. Place your results side by side, and observe: o Red → Orange → Green = progress and growth o No change = stability (still important!) o Green → Orange or Red = potential regression (which may reflect new challenges or shifting perceptions) Visualising Change Make the process of comparison more engaging and visible. Here are a few effective methods: o Use the editable Sensor Progress Comparison Table provided in the annex; o Colour-code results in a spreadsheet or shared chart; o Create arrows, stickers, or progress symbols to highlight movement; and o Involve students in interpreting and presenting the findings visually. Visualising change not only makes it easier to understand but also helps share the findings later in your celebration or communication steps. Reflective Prompts for Discussion Ask your group to consider: o What areas have improved significantly? Why do you think this happened? o Are there any surprises—either positive or concerning? o What stayed the same, and is that expected? o Where do we see strong democratic culture taking root? What do the results tell us about participation, inclusion, and communication in our school? Tools for the Task To support your evaluation, you can use: o Your Sensor platform’s built-in comparison tools, if available; o The editable comparison table (see Annex 1) for tracking changes manually; o Spreadsheets for colour-coding trends;
