LLP/EEF partnership
Through working in partnership with the LLP, we aim to achieve
the following key goals:
1. Secure the use of Teaching Assistant evidence and research
in every Lincolnshire school in order to improve outcomes
for children and young people;
2. To learn together about key features of effective and
sustainable ‘scale-up’ of the use of research evidence;
3. To create a sustainable network of schools who are
‘evidence-ready’ and able to take on new evidence rapidly
and effectively in the future.
Characteristics of effective
research/practice partnerships • Partners see themselves as guardians of the evidence (faithful adoption and
intelligent adaption).
• Bring expertise on school improvement and change in schools (i.e EEF brings
the ‘what’, partners bring the ‘how’)
• The work is integrated into existing school improvement processes and
priorities
• Led by people with passion, respect and influence
• Use local school exemplars that illustrate the change process as well as the end
point
• Involves audit/self-assessment
• Differentiates and targets support to schools
• Use evidence-based programmes/interventions
• Has QA/monitoring processes built in.
The EEF/LLP partnership will seek to follow these key aims: • Secure the use of Teaching Assistant evidence and research in
every Lincolnshire school in order to improve outcomes for children
• Allow us, together, to learn about key features of effective and sustainable ‘scale-up’ of research evidence
• Support Lincolnshire and Lincolnshire schools to be ‘evidence ready’ and able to take on new evidence effectively, not just in relation to the TA work

Together, we can make the difference
Example: Teaching Assistants
Teaching Assistants:
promising results
• Clear and actionable guidance
• Digs deeper into EEF evidence
e.g. Teaching and Learning
Toolkit, and relates it to the
wider evidence-base
• A foundation for scale up

Supporting resources and tools
Available to use and adapt:
• Hard copies of the report
• Poster summarising the
recommendations
• Powerpoint slides
• ‘Acting on the evidence’

• Online audit tools (Leaders and

• Red, Amber, Green (RAG)

• Classroom observation

• Interventions health check
Social nature of research use
Uptake of research is based on trust and personality as much as practical usefulness - informal networks, direct contacts and brokerage are important
