John Fabes found Alps:

• Moderately improves teaching efficiency“Where schools are working in partnership Alps provides an excellent common tool in developing consistent QA practices across all the schools especially in the setting of student expectations and monitoring progress.”
• Moderately improves school processes“In local partnerships Alps data is considered when constructing the joint curriculum offer and where sustained under-performance in a subject is noted, it is likely to be withdrawn from future offers.”
• Moderately improves attainment“The use of Alps in monitoring student progress and providing value-added feedback to subject teachers has a direct effect on improving student and subject performance year on year.”
