We have completed the first three sections of the Assessment Lead Programme and are really enjoying it! It is really clear and I like the fact that it is drip feeding me the information through smaller sections. It is also great to have the ideas founded on reliable research and peer-reviewed articles.
The residential included excellent content with really knowledgeable people delivering the sessions; their enthusiasm was infectious. Excellent value!
Schools desperately need this kind of clear guidance to question the how and the what of their assessment practices. Lots of areas of my direct work will be affected by the Assessment Lead Programme, including pedagogy and supporting schools with learning, curriculum design and questioning their assessment practices.
With their open, frank and enthusiastic demeanor, and their substantive, purposeful and clear explanations, the Evidence Based Education team has been able to move our institution forward by deepening our understanding of the ways in which assessment and data can be used to improve student learning.
The Assessment Lead Programme was easily one of the most difficult courses I have been on. However, I can tell you with 100% certainty that it has been the best. Thank you to the entire Evidence Based Education team, for your relentless drive towards revolutionising CPD and your work in leading the quest for evidence-based practice in education. Awesome.
Thank you so much for your work on the Assessment Lead Programme - it is superb. I love the content and form; you have created a fantastic course!
Before the Assessment Lead Programme, I thought I knew assessment, but I didn't. Put simply, without good assessment, you cannot have good teaching and learning.
We have gone through ALP, and the programme has really opened my eyes. I’m now rereading the content for the third or fourth time, we're hoping to put more staff on future cohorts, and it is absolutely the right thing for all schools to do.

EBE’s training sessions were appropriately pitched and paced, providing a level of information which inspired confidence and excitement about the feedback on our own students.
Evidence Based Education’s training was absolutely brilliant, quickly disarming a partially sceptical audience with great humour and then explaining everything with exceptional clarity.
The training met all of the required outcomes we stated when organising, and we were very happy with the mode of training. We will look into Evidence Based Education’s video packages next year as a method of disseminating key learning.
After signing up for an Essentials package, we found the training accessible and easy to understand. The customer support experienced so far has also been excellent; the team is quick to reply and friendly, yet maintains a professional touch.
Thanks again for the training which was superb. We have already begun discussions about how to use the data and what to share and when.
Thanks so much for the training - it was fantastic to be able to tailor the experience to exactly what we wanted and needed - the use of our own data added another dimension that enhanced the experience further.
Thank you for visiting to deliver such an informative and helpful presentation on CEM assessments. You were extremely clear and answered all the questions with confidence to win over the audience. You even managed to inject a bit of humour that kept us engaged on a Friday afternoon!
Thank you so very much for the engaging and inspirational INSET session that you gave for our staff. The feedback was resoundingly positive, both in terms of your content and in terms of your delivery style.

The real talent of the innovative thinkers at EBE is to draw together and challenge teachers, researchers and policy-makers in their work on evidence-based education.
The EBE Team, led by Stuart Kime, has played an invaluable role in the establishment of the Research School network. Their background, working in both research and practice, has enabled them to provide first-rate support to Research Schools across the country in understanding the value of evidence in school improvement. The EEF first contracted Stuart in 2013 to help develop tools and resources to support school leaders in conducting evaluations. Since then, both he and EBE have acted as developer, consultant and training provider for the EEF and Research Schools network, delivering exemplary support and expertise.
