QASOs: support the week, do not only inspect the file
A Quality Assurance and Standards Officer (QASO) can arrive as a file-checker or as a colleague who still remembers a period. CBC only lives if the second visit is possible: observe the lesson, sit with the staffroom, help a rubric, leave the school able to show its year.
Practical teaching guide, updated September 2026. Use the examples to discuss lesson preparation, classroom observations and follow-up with your teaching team.
Teachers can use the classroom record to discuss planning, participation and follow-up with colleagues and education officers. Programme access and reporting arrangements are agreed with the relevant authority.
What the job is, said plainly
Use lesson-study groups to prepare a lesson, review a competency rubric and discuss the classroom evidence. A QASO can facilitate the discussion, clarify official guidance and help the school agree practical follow-up.
Working with current guidance
Use current Ministry and county guidance to prepare for quality assurance and standards work. Bring examples of lesson preparation and classroom assessment, and agree the support teachers need to put feedback into practice.
Where the product sits
If a school already keeps plans, attendance and formative evidence in Workspace, a visiting officer can read the same week the teacher taught. That is useful. It is not an inspectorate product, and it is not Ghana’s KISEL licensing file. The governments page is the later picture — self-evaluation and reporting — on the same trail.

The same trail
If the classroom does not hold the record, the visit is theatre.
Governments later. Formative assessment in the lesson. Academy if the staffroom wants a rehearsal.
