Framework walkthrough

• Purpose of this pack
• To provide a brief overview of the modules that
  make up the School Improvement Planning framework
  and how they fit together
• When would you use it?
• In events or one to one presentations to
  participants that have an awareness of the
  overall context and rationale of the framework
• Are there any rules?
• Delegates should either already have an awareness
  of the overall context and rationale for the
  development of the School Improvement Planning
  Framework
• This can be achieved using the core slide pack
  provided
• This is an overview and should not be mistaken as
  training
• Presenters should review the shape and structure
  of the toolkit materials before presenting in
  order to respond credibly to questions
