In partnership with the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and the Research Schools Network.
We are delighted to be working in partnership with the EEF and the Research Schools Network to co-construct a series of TLC inspirations focusing on implementation.
Through a series of four packs, we will support your team in working collaboratively to develop their implementation practice.
Implementation matters. Even the greatest idea remains only an idea until it is successfully implemented. 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)
This series of TLC Inspirations will offer a four-part programme exploring the recommendations of EEF’s implementation guidance report (2024), co-constructed by SSAT, EEF and the Research Schools Network.
The four phases of the programme will be explored through the lens of the behaviours that drive effective implementation and the back-drop of the contextual factors that influence it.
