The aim of this paper is to analyze the new questionnaire designed by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) to evaluate its teaching staff (SET). To do it, the responses of a 941 students sample were analyzed and the following aspects of the questionnaire were studied: its reliability, dimensionality, construct and criterion validity; concluding with a differential study considering variables such as gender, disciplinary field, perceived difficulty level or subject interest. The results suggest high internal consistency that fits to the theorical dimensions: planning, process and results, enabling a formative use of information
Education research has proved that expectations in schools are linked to student's performance. A set of studies corroborate their relationship with the children's improvement in the first stages of schooling. In this study we extend the issue to Higher Secondary Education and we analyze the connections between expectations and results in Basque Country schools. To this purpose, sixteen lower effectiveness schools and sixteen higher effectiveness schools were selected taking into account their results in the University Access Exams throughout five years (2010-2014). Semi-structured interviews with the Education Inspectors in charge of those schools were conducted in order to contrast the expectations about the two extreme groups. The outcomes show that expectations in schools are still a factor linked to student results in Higher Secondary School, as it occurs at the previous stages. As a result, it can be inferred that having high expectations and transmitting them in one's environment help immerse the education community in an important task which translates into good results.

KEYS TO DEALING WITH SEXUAL-EMOTIONAL DIVERSITY IN THE EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT FROM A WHOLE SCHOOL APPROACH
RESUMENEl artículo, ahonda en diversas estrategias que hay que tener en cuenta a la hora de abordar la homofobia y la transfobia, las conductas de bullying homofóbico y transfóbico y la mejora de la atención a la diversidad afectivo-sexual desde un enfoque escolar global que ayuden a prevenir cualquier discriminación homofóbica y transfóbica y a dirigir las culturas heteronormativas que existen en la escuela. Las claves han sido extraídas del análisis de las investigaciones llevadas a cabo en el ámbito educativo con relación a las actitudes que los y las jóvenes tienen hacia la diversidad afectivo-sexual y el acoso y discriminación y en consecuencia, la falta de seguridad que sufren los y las estudiantes Lesbianas, Gais, Transexuales y Bisexuales (LGTB) en los contextos escolares. Medidas como, establecer y publicar políticas antidiscriminación y anti-acoso que especifiquen la orientación afectivo-sexual y la expresión de género; formación del profesorado y del resto del personal escolar para saber cómo actuar en aquellas situaciones de acoso y victimización relacionadas con la orientación afectivo-sexual y la expresión de género; introducción en el currículo de LGTB e información acerca de las diferentes orientaciones afectivosexuales y expresión de género, y disponibilidad de fuentes de información y apoyo para estudiantes LGTB. Estos criterios deberán ser aplicados teniendo como referencia, aquellos
