Implementing initiatives in school: A Headteacher Update Series
This five-part series has been inspired by the recent book entitled Making Room for Impact: A de-implementation guide for educators from Professor John Hattie, Dr Arran Hamilton, and Professor Dylan Wiliam (Hamilton et al, 2024).
So far, we have explored why before any initiative is implemented in a school, the de-implementation of other programmes must be considered. We then considered the book’s proposed 4D implementation model: Discover, Decide, De-implement, Re-Decide (I have tweaked the language to make these four steps Discover, Design, Deliver, Double back).
In parts 2 and 3 or this series we focused on Discover and Design. In this fourth part, I will consider “Delivery” – how to deliver the initiative, ensuring that there is deep impact on the area of the school you are looking to improve.
