An improvement cycle based on the model from Dive into Deep Learning: Tools for Engagement, Quinn, et al.

This 'How to' guide has been developed to support local authority officers and practitioners in the use of the toolkit providing prompts and reflective questions to consider as well as pinpointing aspects of the toolkit to use within each stage of the improvement activity.

This guidance has been developed to support local authority officers and practitioners in the use of the toolkit self-evaluation forms.

NEW!! Self-Evaluation Benchmarks

Benchmarks have been developed to provide a shared, structured framework that supports consistent and robust self-evaluation, alongside evidence-informed improvement in learning, teaching and assessment across schools and authorities.  The benchmarks are aligned with HGIOS4? and describe practice across four levels; Satisfactory, Good, Very Good and Excellent, reflecting the HMIe framework, with a clear focus on impact on outcomes for learners.  Whether used at individual, faculty, school or system level, they are designed to promote a shared understanding of expectations and support professional judgement.  Moderation, professional dialogue and collaboration further strengthen their effective use.

Engagement with learner views will further enrich the self-evaluation process.

Share these statements with learners to capture views on learning experiences in your school. 

A  Microsoft Form version has also been developed for each LTA theme and can be accessed on the self-evaluation tool page for each theme.

Use this logic model and template to collaborate as a whole school/setting team to build a shared understanding of high-quality learning, teaching and assessment and improve learner outcomes.
