Section 7: Maintaining and building on your foundations - going deeper and broader

In the second phase of a commission’s work the enquiry into learning needs to be more focused and in depth than the initial enquiry as you work towards developing clear recommendations for how learning should be improved in your school or group of schools.

The design features you used to shape your commission in the early stages remain important as you plan for and implement more complex enquiry activity in phase 2. You also need to review and reconsider how your commission is being led, and how you can continue to engage leaders, teachers and students as the work progresses.

In this section of the toolkit you will find information about:

7.1    Reinforcing the design features from Part 1
7.2    A particular focus on leadership and quality assurance
7.3    Maintaining status and momentum
