How to use this self-evaluation approach to improve practice?

Whether you are responding to the National Improvement Framework priorities or reacting to a recognised need for improvement within your own context, the Creativity Toolbox films will offer you new ways of looking at your priorities and challenges, and help you to generate original, innovative ideas.

They offer effective ways of brainstorming, asking good questions, and how to take staff, learners and communities beyond traditional responses, towards imaginative new possibilities.

The films can be used individually to support a single planning session, or collectively as part of a broader process.

They can also be used in conjunction with the Transforming Learning Approach which offers a structured process for planning for improvement.
