Monitoring and tracking overview- professional learning activities
Below you will find a few suggestions for professional learning activities that can be used along with the

Activity 1
Remove some or all the text from the Responsibility and actions (p3-5) column. Ask staff to replace the text with their
own version.
Activity 2
Add further sections to the Responsibility and actions (p3-5) column. You may want to consider adding, for example,
children, parents etc.
Activity 3
Add to or replace the text in the What is the expected impact? column. You may want to ask staff to respond to a more
focused question, for example, How does the activity/process improve outcomes for the children?
Activity 4
Complete the Evidence column. You may wish to consider doing this in short chunks, for example, ten minutes at the
start of a number of staff meetings rather than as one longer activity.
