Yesterday we led a session with education leaders from across Dixons Academies on implementation behaviours.
The behaviours are useful when considering implementation at scale across a range of contexts.

Before choosing an approach, school leaders can ask:
1️⃣ Is this a real priority for our pupils?
2️⃣ Have we looked at the detail, not just the average?
3️⃣ Is it feasible in our context?
4️⃣ How likely is it to work here?
The toolkit could be used with the explore tool from the implementation guidance.

Open a strand and you’ll find:
A clear definition of the approach
Average impact (months’ progress)
Differences by phase or subject
Impact on disadvantage
Cost & evidence strength
Key implementation considerations
Plenty to explore beyond the headline.
