'What Works Well' Candidate Case Studies
Permanent URI for this collection
When the 'What Works Well' database, along with other areas of the the National Strategies website, was archived following the change of UK government in 2010, some case studies had been published but were still awaiting final approval by reviewers. This collection contains those 'candidate' case studies.
Like any other 'What Works Well' case study, each of these were designed to:
- focus on targeted pupils with identified learning needs
- demonstrate improvement in learning
- describe the success criteria and how progress towards them was measured
- describe intentions and action taken, including teaching approaches and CPD
- describe impact (including What made the difference) and next steps
- provide evidence (quantitative and qualitative) to prove impact and convince others
- provide key messages for others attempting to replicate the work
- be accessible and transferable – able to be implemented by other teachers/practitioners on the basis of what is provided in the case study
- make available toolkits, frames, templates, CPD outlines, etc. to support transfer of learning to others.
Camtree has not carried out any further peer review of these case studies. These studies took place against a background of policy initiatives and organisation of the education system that has changed markedly since these case studies were written: some mention initiatives, organisations and resources which no longer exist. However this remains a rich collection of school-based innovation and development oriented towards demonstrable improvement in teaching and learning.
