Express interest in working with Antidote
The Antidote process seeks to:
  • build harmonious relationships
  • increase student motivation to learn
  • engage staff and student participation
  • stimulate innovation and can-do
There are five stages to the process:

Stage 1 – Identifying the issues
We use an online survey – the School Emotional Environment for Learning Survey (SEELS) – to look at the quality of relationships across the school community. We then open up conversations between staff and students about what is going on that impacts on teaching and learning. We can use other tools to focus more specifically on how the quality of learning is being affected by the emotional environment.

Stage 2 – Understanding what is going on
We design a survey based around our findings. This gives us the information we need to build a rich picture of what is going on, and to ensure this reflects the experience of all staff and students.

Stage 3 – Developing strategies
We enable people to be creative in generating strategies to make teaching and learning even better, and help them frame these ideas into a coherent approach that everyone can support.

Stage 4 – Embedding the strategy
We facilitate the conversations needed to ensure the strategy can be implemented successfully and will build through time. We also set up any training that may be needed.

Stage 5 – Sustaining the impact
At least once a year, we run a fresh set of surveys as part of a process designed to reframe and strengthen the strategies.
