Organisational self-assessment
The Purpose of this resource
The self-assessment resource on this and subsequent pages is designed to help governors, managers and staff at all levels in tertiary education organisations (TEOs) carry out self-assessment activities, as part of an evaluative approach to quality assurance.
The resource provides information on:
- the place of self-assessment in an environment of evaluative quality assurance
- the role of self-assessment in bringing about organisational improvement
- implementing self-assessment activities.
The ideas and examples provided here are a guide only. TEOs will need to develop their own approach, suited to their organisation.
However, any approach to self-assessment should remain consistent with the key features of effective self-assessment.

This information is also contained in the booklet Using Evaluation to Strengthen Organisational Self-Assessment (opposite). This document also contains additional information on building evaluation capability, plus a glossary of technical terms.

NZQA has also developed a document: Evaluative Approach to Quality Assurance - Policy Framework (opposite). This document outlines the policy framework for self-assessment, external evaluation and review and the response to concerns arising from external evaluation and review.
