FHNW Pädagogische Hochschule operates primarily the Q2E orientation model (Qualität durch Evaluation und Entwicklung – Quality through Evaluation and Development), a comprehensive quality management framework for schools and educational institutions. The Q2E model consists of an Action Model (with six components: school quality guidelines, individual feedback, self-evaluation, Q-process management, external school evaluation, and certification), a Functions Model, and a Reference Framework. The core operational tool is Evaltool, a free web-based survey instrument (www.evaltool2.ch) for conducting internal school evaluations and feedback collection among teachers, parents, and students at school or classroom level. The offering also includes thematic orientation grids tailored to different Swiss cantons (Aargau, Solothurn, Basel-Landschaft, Basel-Stadt), downloadable documentation (Q2E handbooks, rating grids, certification materials, and self-evaluation guides), and experience reports from participating schools.
