Raising Attainment With Wellbeing: Revolutionary For Schools

The Raising Attainment with Wellbeing (RAW) course has shown startling returns for school improvement. Marius Frank evaluates its impact on participating schools.

In the fall of 2021, the children’s education charity Achievement for All went into administration, the victim of cashflow issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. A wealth of outstanding school improvement material was in danger of being lost forever.

Microlink, in partnership with TeachingTimes, rescued some of this material, significantly updated and extended this content, and relaunched it in 2022 as Raising Attainment with Wellbeing (RAW).

RAW is a unique school improvement programme that gives school communities immediate access to over 25 days’ worth of INSET material that can be accessed 24/7 to support whole-school, team or individual professional development. Every teacher, TA (Teaching Assistant) and Governor can open individual learning accounts. Every professional can navigate their own professional development pathway through the extensive array of material.

The philosophy is a simple one: Putting wellbeing at the heart of learning, teaching and leadership.

RAW supports a school’s ambition to create a culture and climate that enables every learner and every teacher to thrive. But social and emotional change is not easy. There is no simple recipe. Every school is different and distinctive, with every team and individual at different stages of awareness, knowledge and experience. RAW acknowledges this. Schools, teams or individuals begin the learning journey with a detailed Needs Analysis (audit of current practice).
