PROGRESS Lite

PROGRESS Lite is a low-cost version of the PROGRESS Programme where all communication between the school and Antidote is carried out online or on the telephone.

Schools can choose whether to do for themselves some of the activities carried out by an Antidote consultant on PROGRESS Days in the full-blown model, or just to use PROGRESS Lite as a simple online diagnostic and strategy-development tool.

This is how PROGRESS Lite works

Stage 1 (Familiarise and Identify)
After a setup webinar (or telephone conversation) with the school’s PROGRESS coordinator, all staff fill in the Baseline Environment for Learning Survey (ELS). Students fill in the age-appropriate version of Basline ELS and, if they are in KS2 or beyond, the Powerful Learning Survey (PLS).

Stage 2 (Understand and Interpret)
All staff and students fill in the Follow-on ELS to dig down into what is really happening in the school, enabling development of a rich picture about what is happening. At this point, the school can insert its own questions about why certain things are happening.

Stage 3 (Create and Develop)
All staff and students will propose strategies for addressing the issues identified in the picture so as to make teaching and learning in their schools even better. These will be synthesised into separate reports for staff, students and members of the senior team.

Stage 4 (Implement and Integrate)
Antidote can develop tailored consultancy or training days to help schools in implementing effectively the strategy developed through PROGRESS Lite.

Stage 5 (Review and Reappraise)
When schools are ready to revise their strategies, they can either repeat stages 1-3, or use ELS Review that combines the Baseline and Follow-on surveys into one.
