Evidence for Learning: Planning for impact 2024

Planning for impact 2024

A guide for using research evidence to support school planning for 2024

This guide has been designed to support your school’s existing planning processes by bringing together the latest and most relevant E4L resources into one guide. 

Drawing on the evidence on effective implementation, this guide steps through the key stages of improvement planning, with resources organised into three essential areas for school improvement: 

  • High-quality teaching for all
  • Targeted academic support, and
  • Wider strategies to support students.

The guide can help your school to identify the approaches that are likely to make the biggest difference to your students, while considering time, cost, energy, and resources. In addition to describing the E4L resources relevant to teaching, support and wider strategies, the guide includes reflection questions to consider as you are developing your 2024 plans.

This guide has been developed to help school leaders draw on E4L’s resources as they plan for 2024. Drawing on the evidence on effective implementation, it steps through the key stages of improvement planning. It is designed to help school leaders in determining how best to focus time, effort, and resources by identifying evidence-informed strategies with the greatest potential to support student achievement.

This guide has been developed with existing school planning processes in mind and is intended to be used to complement relevant jurisdictional planning supports and tools.
