The purpose of this article is to highlight how self-assessment processes must enroll in a process of collective capacity building at schools, as a critical factor for managing the improvement at school as Professional Learning Communities which focus on improvements in teacher quality and teaching, we are able to promote self-assessment as device of development. Without purposeful, focused, and sustained capacity building, the self-evaluation will be shallow at worst and at best uneven learning where any gains are likely to be short-lived. The self-evaluation within the context of Professional Learning Communities creates an infrastructure for creating a better professional practice and enhancing school wide capacity for sustainable improvement.
