How to be the best value added school
A SENSATIONAL COURSE FOR SENIOR MANAGERS
250 high schools and sixth form colleges have taken part in this unique research comparing examination results to Midyis, ALIS, NFER, CATS, Key Stage 3 and GCSE Points Score Data. This pioneering investigation highlights the most successful whole school strategies to improve examination results. The course then provides hands-on experience of four of the most successful strategies, and examines how best to organise schools to facilitate change.
PIONEERING RESEARCH
• Including a value added analysis of 72 whole school strategies to improve GCSE and ‘A’ level examination results.
This information is only available through this course.
• Including a value added analysis of 18 techniques used to improve the academic performance of boys.
This information is only available through this course.
THE ANSWERS
