GrowEd

GrowEd: teacher performance and growth, all term long.

How do you know how teaching is going across your school right now, not last term? GrowEd is one place for the whole picture: what leaders track as the term goes on, and the growth each teacher owns for themselves.

A one-minute overview, from teacher to senior leader. Music, with on-screen text and captions.

Three views of one record.

  • Senior leaders
  • Heads of department
  • Teachers

Heads of department

Know what your team is working on.

Agree each teacher's goal with them, and it stays on their record. When they share what they tried in class, you see it, reply, and know who is ready for a word of encouragement.

Alongside sits a simple, regular record of whatever your school checks: class visits, drop-ins, book samples, planning. Green, yellow or red, with a note on each, so you spot who needs support early. And every teacher's focus is in one table, ready for the next growth conversation.

Senior leaders

Every department at once, as the term goes on.

Senior leaders open GrowEd and see every department side by side, built from what the heads of department recorded. One red box, one click, and you see which teachers, and why.

Routine checks against their minimums. Who has been observed and how lessons were graded. Growth meetings held and actions outstanding. And a spreadsheet of any of it, whenever you need one.

Teachers

Growth, not surveillance.

Teachers never see the tracking. They get a space of their own: a focus chosen from your school's technique library, a goal in their own words, and evidence of what they tried in class.

Leaders' routine checks stay with leaders, like any line-management record. Teachers choose what they share from their own growth space.

Early career teachers are walked through it step by step. Experienced staff pick their focus and get on with it.

The technique library

Focuses that follow how learning happens.

GrowEd ships with a library of classroom techniques, each with the key idea, how to do it, what it looks like, a source and quick-check questions, organised by the seven phases of the Simple Model of Learning: the steps a pupil goes through to learn something new, from focusing on the knowledge to making it stick. Schools add their own.

1

Focus on the knowledge

A learning outcome pupils can say back; a To Know list that cuts the noise.

2

Create a learning mindset

Wrong answers as useful information; naming the struggle; routines for a calm start.

3

Secure attention

Cold Call; say the task back before starting.

4

Organise my thinking

Linking to prior knowledge; We Do before You Do; mind-maps from memory; modelling thinking aloud.

5

Think deeply

Stretch It; Right is Right; Turn and Talk with habits of discussion.

6

Check my understanding

Affirmative checking; Show Call; exit tickets; hinge questions; feedback that moves learning on.

7

Make learning stick

Explaining it in their own words; spacing and interleaving; retrieval practice.

+

Your own

Schools add their own focuses to any phase, with a video or a colleague's lesson as the model.

The growth conversation

Run it as coaching, not appraisal.

When leader and teacher sit down together, GrowEd helps the leader run it as a GROW conversation: Goal, Reality, Options, Will. They tick the questions they want to use, add their own, and open them as a one-page script for the meeting, with the teacher's own goal in front of them.

Fits your school

Any framework, any departments, your words for things. Set it up in an afternoon, or start from a template.

Teachers own the sharing

Teachers decide when their growth is shared. Shared evidence appears on their leader's record, so the school sees engagement and growth. What leaders record about a teacher is never shown to the teacher.

Yours to keep

Every table downloads as a spreadsheet. Your record is your record.
