Implementation Leadership

In 2025, join Evidence InformED and Implement.ED to bring focus and energy to your school improvement priorities through a year-long implementation project.

Throughout the year, your school team will explore educational evidence, look at behaviour and practice change through an implementation science lens, and enact your plans for change and school improvement.

What you will learn and do

You will:

  • Refine and tighten the focus of your priority project
  • Engage with quality evidence relevant to your priority project
  • Explore factors that contribute to effective implementation in schools
  • Develop a plan to implement your project
  • Explore concepts for understanding behavioural change
  • Consider impact and how to measure and communicate change and improvement
  • Connect and engage with other school teams with shared contexts or priorities
  • Build confidence in leading change

Who should attend?

We welcome anyone to attend this professional learning program in 2025. It has been developed with school leaders and middle leaders in mind, but the concepts explored will have relevance for all teachers and school leaders who are engaged in school improvement.

While it is excellent to come with a focus and priority, you should expect to tighten and refine this during the process. No matter what your focus is, we expect that it is tightly aligned to your school’s improvement priorities.
