What people have said about the LOT Discs
'The programme identifies readily our areas of strength and areas for development as a staff team.'

'A really beneficial point was that in showing her (the teacher) the grids, not only could she see precisely how I came to each judgment but also what elements would take her to the next level.'
AG Long Sutton
What are the benefits of this program?
- Ease of use the automatic nature of the program to RAG Rate the data that has been entered; the data entered automatically populated into individual teacher profiles.
- Provides exactly what you need to analyse in terms of pupil progress, quality of teaching and assessments being made.
- Enables the setting of appropriate targets from a secure baseline for teachers to develop further.
- Provides schools with very clear evidence of the teaching in school when having discussions with parents and guardians, individual teaching staff, subject co-ordinators, the Governing Body, Local Authority Officers and Ofsted Inspectors.
- Provides secure information for Teacher Performance Management Interviews.
- Identifies strands for future professional development of staff as a whole school team or on an individual level.
- With the data set emerging, the school can identify very clearly the impact of their work with pupils and the resulting outcomes. It will also show the school where they need to develop further and this will inform the schools self evaluation processes, link into school development planning and also inform professional development training for staff.
- The cost is not prohibitive.
- The program saves many man hours because of its calculating capabilities.
- The program does not provide you with lots of features that may make data look prettier it just provides you with useful and usable information.
