Trevor Lawn found Alps:

• Slightly improves teaching efficiency
• Significantly improves school processes“Middle Leaders have a better understanding of what 'success' looks like in terms of progress rather than attainment. The simplicity of the ALPS grading system, based on the national dataset and taking account of prior attainment as the baseline, helps those leaders who are less conversant with data to feel confident that they understand the standard expected. The 'what if' function is absolutely invaluable in demonstrating how the grading will shift upwards if they are able to move certain students up by a grade or two.”
• Moderately improves attainment“Teachers can target their support due to having a better grasp of what each individual should be expected to achieve as a minimum and this in turn drives up attainment.”
