If the responses are low or any of the above hold true, it would be beneficial to create an improvement plan. A few actions (non-exhaustive) are proposed:  Discuss with the school leader the results and raise potential concerns  Create a focus group of people from the different groups and create a discussion around specific areas you consider important  Find experts internally or externally who can help in areas where weaknesses were identified  Set goals and actions for improvement  Decide when to use the SELFIE tool again Once corrective actions are taken, it is vital that continuous monitoring and evaluation are taking place. This will not only help identify the weaknesses but also help prevent future weaknesses and failures. Technology is rapidly changing, and the VET sector has to adapt continuously. Using the SELFIE tool and adapting it to current needs can be one of the VET schools and educators' actions to make a self-assessment that helps them take action and remain up-to-date with the rapidly changing world.

The custom questions can focus on the areas that were previously identified as weaknesses.
