Mobilise Project

Mobilise: the evidence, the workforce, the impact

PLC3s are taking place in all of this year's projects.

Schools around the county are working collaboratively as Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), focusing on areas of local priority: cognitive theory & memory, feedback & marking, maths, English, curriculum design and emotional health & well-being. Check out 'Resources' for each project. Please see the 'bookings' document for dates, times and venues of all meetings; please confirm alternative attendance, if you are unable to attend your regular cluster PLC.


The Lincolnshire Learning Partnership is continuing to champion the implementation of research-based evidence in Lincolnshire's schools for a third year through Mobilise. The aim of the MOBILISE project is to ensure that every school leader in Lincolnshire is supported and equipped to make sense of, and act on, the research evidence on: cognitive theory and memory; feedback and marking; maths in KS2 & KS3; English in KS1 & KS2; curriculum design and grant-funded small-scale trials.

The ultimate aim of this project is to build an effective cluster-based, school-to-school infrastructure, which will enable all of us to be 'evidence-informed' and 'evidence-ready' in the future – able to rapidly understand, respond and implement research. It will equip teachers, teaching assistants and leaders in your school to become champions of the evidence and see outcomes transformed for our pupils. The aim is that the cluster-model we create together will be used again and again, every time there is new evidence, helping us to be at the cutting edge of school improvement.

If you have any questions regarding the Mobilise project, please contact the team via email at mobilise@kyrateachingschool.com or telephone: 01522 287020 (option 2).
