But I already do a lot of staff development. What is the SKEIN service going to tell me I don’t already know?

But I already do a lot of staff development. What is the SKEIN service going to tell me I don’t already know?

SKEIN can help even the best colleges to better focus their energies and money on professional development processes, systems and activities which deliver actual benefit for students. Colleges, that are in general enthusiastic, organised supporters of their staff development, rarely evaluate (or know how to evaluate) the impact of the PD they provide or pay for.

Those who see PD as an add-on or something to buy in from others from time to time find SKEIN helps them ensure that their CPD becomes focused on doing the day job better and paying attention to important longer term goals at the same time as addressing urgent priorities.

Will the outcomes of your work with us remain confidential to us?

Will the outcomes of your work with us remain confidential to us?

Each SKEIN college receives its own report which is fully confidential to them. It’s up to each college to decide whether and how they want to share the findings internally or otherwise. E.g. some college leaders we’ve worked with chose to share excerpts from their report or report summaries with their staff whilst others decided to just use them to inform their organisation’s strategic development.

Do you monitor us to see if improvements have been made?

We offer a follow-up service, which involves us visiting the college after two and a half terms to track your progress and offer advice.

Why should I choose SKEIN over other evaluation services?

Why should I choose SKEIN over other evaluation services?

Unlike (superficially) similar services, SKEIN;

is focused on education, its core business (teaching and learning) and links between staff and student learning;
is NOT an externally validated self-assessment. The assessment is undertaken by trained experts using benchmarks derived from research;
does not make the college do all the work, fill out any forms or provide standard answers to questions;
builds capacity in the client college and leaves them with additional capabilities and resources; and
is cheaper than the (non-self assessment) alternatives.
