Join the Education Equity Alliance's School Network for an interactive workshop considering 'how do we prioritise our activites for improved education equity?'.

This workshop is for Principal-Class and Middle Leaders in Victorian low-SES schools (ICSEA below 1000).

We know that the work of achieving equity of outcomes for the young people in these contexts is significant - and that you are constantly making important decisions about where to place limited time, energy and resources.

This workshop will utilise leverage point analysis to help you determine where you can apply your efforts for the biggest impact This workshop will draw upon the systems thinking framework, which supports improvement in complex systems. In particular, it will utilise a leverage point analysis tool developed by Orange Compass, which provides a stepped out process through which you can decide where you focus your energy for maximum impact. For an example of this approach in practice, see the Early Years Catalyst here.
