Perfecting Self-Assessment Writing

  • Revealing!
  • Forget the audience. Write to find the root cause. Ask the “so why is that” and be curious. Own the issues.
  • Enlightened, focused.
  • SAR not PR. Ensure clarity of what we are trying to say – avoid ambiguity and trying to shoehorn too many things in one statement.
  • I feel more prepared to assist with writing a SAR.

Perfecting Development-Plan Writing

  • Panning for gold in SARs/QIPs.
  • Really good session and I’m reminded of the start when you said about being excited about self-assessment, I can see why! This is a great way of writing SARs and QIPs which will help develop affective targets.
  • Has made QIPs fun and useable.
  • Like finding a boring brown box but finding a wonderful surprise inside.
  • Instead of discussing the data, I will now be more enquiring and ask questions to get to the bottom of issues and devise/create logical and realistic steps to improve.
  • Dig down to the root causes and simplify development plan to ensure actions are achievable in shorter time frame. Really like the idea that quality must be owned by everyone and development plans being a project – actions completed to be celebrated.
  • Excellent, thought-provoking session – very enjoyable. I now want to get stuck in!
  • Insightful, exciting. Can’t wait to get started on a new way of thinking.
  • Inspiring. Lots to change in our current approach to empower staff to reflect and be involved to feel they can be honest in answers to get to root cause and not worry about accountability.
  • I will look weekly to practice with colleagues to become confident in using the vocab.
  • Fault, cause, rectification (automotive when diagnosing). Noisy engine ie the symptom, the issue is no oil. Target the issue not symptom.
  • Drill into the fault not symptom, ground up.
  • Thank you for a great session.
  • Found the QIP template very useful.
  • Look for the root cause.
  • Informative session.
  • Insightful and thought-provoking
  • Really enjoyed it – thank you Tony.
  • Focusing on cause rather than symptom and team ownership/responsibility to learners.
  • Way I look at data, how to get to root cause, take control of the controllables (ownership), consider department culture (language, processes etc)
  • We all need to be on the same journey, “Join the Bus!”
  • Involve the team more. Ask valid questions and listen. Consider symptoms, “Note taking”.
  • Failing to start, recognising the symptom, with a crisp start.
  • Keeping it student focussed.
  • You keep it real – Thanks.
  • ‘Sunday at the village vanguard!’ – work changing influences.
  • Use a different set of questions to ensure DP reflects critically, cause and effect and enable solutions employed to be impactful.
  • Food for thought – very useful.
  • Find root causes. Transform the way I can approach the root causes with excitement about influencing learning. Stopping the approach of moving away from a problem to getting closer to a solution.
  • We all need to be on the same bus.
  • Practice the terminology root cause. Involve the team – 5 whys, consider symptoms.
