Each evaluation will also look at secondary outcomes such as pupil confidence and teacher knowledge, and the effectiveness of programme implementation. All trial schools will receive an incentive and are very important to contribute to educational research and future funding.

We are looking to recruit 580 schools (yikes) over two programmes, our expert evaluators are @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social and @nferclassroom.bsky.social. We will compare pupil attainment in an intervention and control groups for both programmes, hoping for a statistically significant difference.

4/ Procrastination is real ⏰ Complex assessments like reports and essays often lead students to delay starting - sound familiar to academic writing in general? 🤔

Latest ITT statistics are somewhat positive, with most secondary subjects - especially shortage ones - recruiting better than last year. Primary down a smidge, English down due to bursary cut
But majority still likely to be below target (this is last year's targets: new actuals out next month)
