Evaluate workload measures
These resources help you track and evaluate the impact of your workload reduction measures.
Some school leaders add workload reduction as a key priority in their school improvement plans to monitor and evaluate progress.
How to use this section
You can use and adapt these resources to help monitor the impact of your workload reduction measures. Evaluation methods can include:
- conducting surveys with school staff, pupils, parents and carers
- reviewing the results of pupils
- trialling different teaching approaches with parallel classes
As a senior leadership team, you could use these resources to provide regular feedback to school staff and governors.
