3 Outcomes perceptions of positive change
(preliminary)

Outcomes change in EPs practice (preliminary)

• EPs change in practice
• More focused on including children in feedback
  loop
• Clear about benefits of video-recording DA as
  focus for feedback discussion

  assessment (not just DA) and ask them for
  opinions and ideas for classroom strategies
• Intend to use this model from now on
• EPS has now added it to development plan
