Starting your Evidence for Learning journey as a teacher or practitioner
Everything you need to start using EfL in your everyday practice. Built from real experiences of teachers and support staff already using EfL in the classroom.
Join the next live onboarding webinar
This will be an opportunity to meet with the EfL Team and potentially other schools who are just starting their journey with Evidence for Learning.
From capturing moments to understanding learning
This is how teachers and practitioners are using EfL to build understanding and support progress in their setting.
- 1. Getting started
Start small and build confidence.
Most practitioners begin with one class, pathway or intervention group, agreeing what meaningful evidence looks like in their setting.
Focus on capturing small moments of learning that support reflection and strengthen conversations with families.
- 4. Impact
As EfL becomes part of practice, the impact grows.
Practitioners report greater confidence in understanding and explaining progress, with evidence supporting planning and next steps.
Learning becomes more visible, meaningful and easier to share.
- 2. Challenges
Practitioners are working with increasingly complex needs.
Learning is often non-linear and difficult to capture in traditional ways. Evidence can sit across different places, making it hard to see the full picture.
Staff want clearer, more joined-up ways to understand and show progress.
- 5. Top Tips
Keep it simple and purposeful.
Start with a small group, capture meaningful moments, and link evidence clearly to targets.
Use time together to reflect as a team and build shared understanding.
- 3. Benefits
EfL brings clarity to everyday practice.
It helps capture learning beyond written work, linking evidence directly to targets and making small steps of progress visible.
It supports stronger team discussions and helps families feel more connected to learning.
- 6. Next Steps
As confidence grows, EfL becomes part of everyday practice.
Teams begin to use it in reviews, planning and CPD, and extend its use across wider classroom and provision areas.
Over time, it strengthens a culture of reflection, collaboration and understanding.
