A worked school example

This is a suggested local planning example, not a school rating or an official EEF implementation tool.

Put it into practice

1. Choose one lesson and agree the subject outcome, language move and independent exit response.
2. Allocate modelling, checking and observation roles in advance; avoid a default helper role for the EAL teacher.
3. Observe a small planned sample: what reasoning was visible, which prompt was used and what changed after it?
4. Compare notes and agree one adjustment for the next lesson.

Questions for a useful team conversation

Ask colleagues to bring a concrete task or response, explain one judgement and identify uncertainty. Invite learner perspectives without treating comments alone as attainment evidence.

Keep implementation proportionate

Start with one unit and a manageable sample of work. Use existing meetings and curriculum records where possible. Agree essential practice while allowing subject-specific representations and examples.

Avoid fixed promises about attainment or CEFR gains. Review access, reasoning, language and independence separately.
