It will help you to get the best out of your colleagues and pupils, improve your outcomes, and save you a HUGE amount of time and stress!

Annie’s style is different. It’s refreshingly ‘down-to-earth’ and informal. She has the ability to simplify complex concepts and present them in a relevant, engaging and memorable way so you can easily grasp them and relate to them.

School Improvement Diagnostic Tool [Stop Inconsistency, Optimise Performance + Improve Outcomes]

• Jan 2017 - Present

This Powerful ‘Dual Factor’ Diagnostic Tool helps Headteachers, Line Managers and Coaches/Consultants by forensically pinpointing EXACTLY how to improve individual, team & school performance. Making your school work as efficiently as possible is a HUGE challenge. And we get it. You want to achieve your vision and get the best out of your workforce, and you want to do it NOW. You’re doing the best you can with the resources you’ve got, but you know that some staff are inconsistent or not doing their job properly, and that’s putting more pressure on you and your colleagues. You end up wasting hours picking up the pieces rather than focusing on the more important strategic stuff! There are HUNDREDS of things you COULD do, so how can you 100% guarantee you’re allocating your resources wisely and working on the #1 thing that will make the BIGGEST difference? That's where this SI/SSE diagnostic tool comes in. (It’s 360 Feedback but NOT as you know it!) If you’ve come across 360 degree feedback before you’ll know that ‘normal’ 360s give you a list of ‘strengths’ and ‘development areas’ for individuals – but that’s about it! This 360 tool is FAR more powerful because it also shows you the difference (or “gap”) between what your colleagues are ACTUALLY doing and what they SHOULD be doing consistently on a day-to-day basis! When you click the “Easy Data Analysis” button it’ll collate results and FORENSICALLY ANALYSE your teams or the whole school in seconds, meaning you can: • Take the GUESSWORK out of school improvement • Identify your ‘experts’ (for peer-to-peer support) • See someone’s biggest ‘blind-spot’ & ‘development area’ • Know the BIGGEST strengths for your Team & School • Be 100% confident about your Top 3 Improvement Priorities • Prove the impact of your CPD or initiatives …And above all, IMPROVE YOUR SCHOOL!
