Implementing Effective Change

Implementation matters. Even the greatest idea remains only an idea until it is successfully implemented.

Working in partnership with the EEF and the Research Schools Network we have created a series of resource packs to support your team in working collaboratively to develop their implementation practice, making sure changes you implement in school have meaningful and sustained impact.

In partnership with the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and the Research Schools Network.

SSAT have worked in partnership with the EEF, the Research Schools Network and a pilot group of schools from the SSAT network to co-construct a series of resource packs focusing on implementing effective change.

Effective implementation is the cornerstone of all meaningful and sustainable change in education, whether your focus is classroom, curriculum or culture.

‘However well-evidenced an educational idea or intervention is, what really matters is how it manifests itself in the day to day work of people in schools.’ (Education Endowment Foundation, 2024)

The Implementing Effective Change resource packs offer a four-part programme exploring the practical implications of EEF’s implementation guidance report (2024). The packs are carefully designed using the Teacher Learning Community model providing you with a series of 9 structured 75-minute workshops ready to deliver with your team.

The packs provide useful prompts for discussion, plus practical resources and templates to support your practice. The sessions offer interesting food for thought whether you are an experienced senior leader or someone who is new to leading change in schools.

The four phases of the programme are explored through the lens of the behaviours that drive effective implementation and the contextual factors that influence it:

1. Explore

  • What’s the problem and what’s already going on?
  • What does the research evidence suggest and how does it relate to our setting?
  • What are the barriers and enablers to change in our setting?
  • How challenging is the approach to implement?
+

2. Prepare

  • How can we create an effective implementation plan?
  • How do we build clarity and coherence on the direction of travel?
+

3. Deliver

  • How can we support and encourage staff to deliver change?
  • How will we reinforce initial professional development?
  • What systems and structures will enable us to monitor progress?
+

4. Sustain

  • How do we conduct a thorough review of implementation to inform next steps?
  • Should we sustain, scale or de-implement?
+
