Prepare, Sprint and Review - The Learning Sprints Process

Learning Sprints - https://learningsprints.com/ - supports the adoption of evidence-informed practices and enables educators to collectively plan, act and evaluate their impact. 

The approach is aligned with the existing research evidence into the features of effective teacher professional learning and the science of behaviour change.

The Learning Sprints Process

There are three Key Phases

1. Prepare:
a. Define: What student learning outcome do we want to focus our practice improvement on? For which students? What evidence justifies this decision? 
b. Design: What small, specific actions can we take in our classrooms to improve student learning? 
c. Assess: What evidence of student learning will we collect? 

2. Sprint: 
a. Teach: In what ways are we deliberately improving our teaching practices? 
b. Monitor: How are we collecting evidence of student learning? What is it telling us? 
c. Support: How are we harnessing peer and expert feedback?

3. Review. 
a. Analyse: What progress did students make and how did our actions contribute to this? 
b. Transfer: How can we transfer what we’ve learned into future practice and ways of working together? 
c. Reset: What professional learning could we engage in next, in order to help us maximise our impact on student learning? 

Most of all, it is designed to be adaptable to a learning providers context and focused on the challenges specific to their learning environments and their learners.

It’s also well worth checking out the “Learning Sprints” site for free resources, videos, tools, stories and support.
