Stage 2: Deepen
The Deepen stage consists of a full-day interactive workshop with the school’s senior leadership team. Here, the team deepens their understanding of any barriers identified in the Discover stage and identifies potential actions to address them.
Having the right people in the room for a full day, in a spirit of open discussion, offers a possibly rare opportunity to examine in depth some of the school’s longest standing and most difficult issues in the round and to generate a new sense of purpose.
The morning provides a grounding in how social psychological processes can be barriers to the attendance, behaviour, and attainment of some groups of students, and how initiatives and brief interventions that target these barriers can improve these outcomes.
The afternoon is dedicated to a highly interactive session to dig deeply into understanding the barriers identified in the Discover stage, using the knowledge acquired and ideas generated in the morning. This allows participants to generate potential practical actions to address them with new energy.
