DESCRIPTION:School inspectors carry out their work under conflicting role 
 expectations of their stakeholders. On the one hand\, inspectors are expec
 ted to be as scientific as possible by adhering to a techno-rational appro
 ach of school inspection that enables comparisons between schools. This ap
 proach is in line with the current demands for evidence-informed policy an
 d practice. On the other hand\, actors of local schools want their uniquen
 ess to be recognised. To satisfy both demands some inspectors search for w
 ays to account for a school’s uniqueness while maintaining comparability
 .\n\nOverall\, school inspectors have to project an image of competence to
  their stakeholders and last but not least to each other. Therefore\, the 
 presentation will close with remarks on how inspectors present themselves 
 as ‘good inspectors’.\n
