Do you want to know more about how to turn your driver diagram actions into test of change?

Are you keen to learn more about how to measure impact more effectively?

Kirsty Ellis, the national RAFA Improvement Advisor who has been allocated as a support to Angus will be with us on Wednesday 26 August and Monday 14 September to help support and guide those schools who want to know more about implementing the improvement model outlined in RAFA.  Both sessions will be held between 9 a.m. and 12 noon at Arbroath Library.

The first session on Wednesday 26 August is an Improvement Clinic which will  focus on how we translate our driver diagram actions into tests of change.  Kirsty will give an input into the thinking behind the test of change approach and provide some examples of how to translate actions into tests of change.  Please bring along your own driver diagrams as we want this session to be about your work so that you leave having successfully managed to translate your own schools actions into tests of change.

The second session on Monday 14 September  will focus on how we measure impact and improvement.  Kirsty will show us some simple examples of how to do this and will help you begin to think about the range of ways you can do this in your own schools.  This session will help you gain confidence that data gathering and measurement can be done simply so don’t be scared!

Please confirm your attendance (stating clearly  which session/s you are attending) by email to Morna Duncan (duncanmh@angus.gov.uk) no later than Monday 24 August 2015.

We look forward to seeing you there and to working together to improve our efforts to raise attainment for all of our children and young people.
