Mary Farmer found Developing Experts:

• Significantly reduces teacher workload“Seeking out expert reviews/resources; having progression documents ready-made to present to staff as the subject lead; ideas for the wider curriculum…I could go on!”
• Moderately reduces attainment gap“Our send pupils have made greater progress this year in my class as I have been able to adjust their learning accordingly due to the less able and challenge aspects already being catered for.”
• Significantly improves teaching efficiency“We have a very consistent approach at our school as we are all using the scheme. It’s enabled us to plug gaps and communicate effectively with regards to transition.”
• Moderately improves attainment“I believe so, as we are all using the same assessment documents and benchmarks from DE which means that data is consistent and I, as the SL, am able to see an improvement in attainment as staff are more confident with their assessments.”
• Moderately builds student knowledge“During a recent pupil voice I did, many students were able to recall knowledge from previous year group’s learning. This proved to us that DE supports our spiral curriculum where we can build upon prior knowledge and improve retention of knowledge.”
