The document discusses documenting good practices in schools. It is divided into four parts: what to document, why document, how to document, and being ready to document. Part one defines documentation and lists its common forms. It notes that documentation systematically records activities, issues, solutions, processes, and steps. Schools should document things like meeting minutes, student activities and projects, processes like student elections, and proceedings. The goal is to store and make evidence of certain school functions available.
