SOLUTIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL ORGANISATIONS
Equitable Education provides educational consultancy and solutions for organisations with a focus on closing the gaps with the following services:
If you require an external review of your organisation’s provision and practice for either a specific group of pupils for whom closing the gap is an issue, or for all groups the Organisation Closing the Gap diagnostic will be of interest to you. This diagnostic is suitable for either Local Authorities or for schools who are either in a chain or trust, such as Academies or Free Schools. The diagnostic will provide a detailed report highlighting the strengths and areas for development, along with recommendations.
In addition to the diagnostic service we offer, we are also able to work with you to develop a Forward Strategy for Closing the Gaps too. The strategy can be developed generically for closing the gap across your organisation or for specific groups of pupils for whom closing the gap is an issue. This forward strategy will be developed in line with the current educational context and harness system leadership to drive forward improvements in your organisation, with school to school support forming an integral part of the strategy and sustainability in-built from the outset.
Equitable Education can work with educational organisations through the development of Closing the Gaps Hubs in their locality. The Closing the Gaps Hubs are outstanding schools, with a proven track record in closing the gaps for their pupils, which have the capacity to support other schools to improve outcomes for pupils beyond their own school. Equitable Education will work with these schools to develop a structured programme of support to strengthen both Leadership & Management and Teaching & Learning in the school receiving support. The focus on Leadership & Management and Teaching & Learning is because of the key role both play in accelerating outcomes for children and young people. Pilot work on Closing the Gaps Hubs has already shown a demonstrative impact quantitatively and qualitatively, both for the schools receiving support, as well as their own schools. It also enables schools interested in becoming Teaching schools in the future to gain valuable experience of school to school support. Organisations have the option to develop the Closing the Gaps Hubs either generically or for with a specialist focus area for particular groups of pupils based on their individual needs.
Equitable Education can provide interim leadership to your current leadership teams. This can be to either provide additional capacity in identified areas or provide temporary cover for posts. If required, Equitable Education can work with you for a fixed period of time on a particular area of work and support the capacity building of your own staff to drive forward improvements for closing the gaps.
Equitable Education can also work in partnership with your staff to undertake research, including action research. This research could focus on best practice or an evaluation of the effectiveness of your strategies for closing the gaps within your own organisation, with coaching given on utilising the most appropriate methodology for measuring impact.
Equitable Education provides training courses and CPD opportunities for staff within your organisation. We can provide specific training for trainee teachers on ITT and NQTs for their induction year, so that they meet key aspects of the relevant teaching and professional conduct sections of the new Teacher Standards. If required, we can provide coaching for key members of your staff on specific areas of closing the gaps.
We have further detailed information on each of the solutions outlined above. Please contact us for a copy.
The services outlined above are examples of the kind of solutions we provide at Equitable Education. We are also very adept at providing bespoke solutions to addressing the specific closing the gaps your organisation wishes to address. Please feel free to contact us to discuss the tailor made approaches we can develop for you.
