Educational Positioning System

A revolutionary school improvement tool

Background:
Schools are required to develop robust self-review processes to ensure that they are continually enhancing their organisational capability
to raise student achievement. Many review systems can deliver on part of the picture, but the online Education Positioning System (EPS)
developed by CORE Education in conjunction with Dr Julia Atkin illustrates the whole picture. The EPS is designed to promote genuine and
sustainable professional learning and development, through a facilitated process, involving the entire school community.

COREs involvement:
Just as a GPS helps us locate where we are in space, the EPS aids in determining where a school is in its educational development.
Based on a framework of 3 interrelated dimensions and 18 key elements the EPS is designed to provide a comprehensive process by
which schools can review, plan, implement and evaluate their progress in an ongoing manner through;

identifying areas of strengths

identifying areas of weakness
illustrating the big picture of where your schools sits within the educational landscape
providing strategic direction for identifying your goals and future development
empowering school stakeholders to take ownership of change and development in your school.

Outcome:
This comprehensive framework combined with an online data gathering tool and facilitation support enables a sustainable self-review
and school improvement process for whole school development.
