Area Councils - partnership working

Are you an education professional in your council area, working closely with school leadership teams, particularly those with responsibility for SEN? If so, read on – you may be interested in working with us:

As we’ve collaborated successfully with many councils in the UK in recent years, we’d now like to extend this partnership working to Australia and New Zealand, aiming to increase the awareness and usage of our programmes, designed specifically to help pupils with Literacy, Numeracy and Wellbeing. Partnership working can involve anything from simply presenting IDL at a SENCo Forum to more involved projects, such as pilot schemes.

What is a pilot scheme?

A pilot scheme usually involves working with multiple schools in a specific council area, affording them the opportunity to trial our programs for a long period of time, without charge. As a result, school staff will have time to assess if pupils engage with a program/s and ultimately make progress, before making a subscription decision.

The length of the trial is usually determined between us and the area project lead, who provides information to schools about our offer, asking them to respond if they’d like to take part either directly to them or to their IDL Advisor. Once we have a list of schools and associated contact details, we’ll set up individual trial sites and send login details. A school can then begin to use IDL products with an unlimited number of pupils, enjoy watching them learn, and monitor their progress.

If after trialling, a school would like to subscribe to any of our programmes, we’d love them to, but there is no obligation to do so, it’s entirely optional. What’s important is that our products are the right fit for their setting. It may also be possible to offer a financial discount, depending on how many schools subscribe in any given project.

Research:

We’ve been involved in some significant research projects, proving the effectiveness of our software, details of which can be found here.
