Description

Expressions of Interest are Sought.

DfE are looking to appoint an independent research body to conduct an evaluation to assess the effectiveness of the behaviour hubs programme in achieving its strategic aim to improve behaviour and behaviour practices in schools, and to provide real-time learning to foster continuous improvement of the programme. The evaluator will deliver a process, outcomes and impact evaluation, built around a theory of change, to:
• assess whether the programme is effective in meeting strategic aims, objectives and expected outcomes and impacts
• assess, test and refine the programme theory of change to understand why the intervention has worked (or not), what the change mechanisms linking activities to outcomes are, and how they vary across school and pupil contexts.
• evidence the outcomes and emerging / potential for impact for schools, teachers, pupils, including use of bespoke data collection
• assess impact for pupils, teachers and schools, relative to matched-comparison groups using secondary analysis of administrative data
• capture formative learning and real-time insights to understand operational and contextual challenges / successes, and ways to exploit or overcome these
• provide feedback to the department to inform delivery of the programme and disseminate learning across and outside the programme
• explore and evidence (actual and reported) costs, benefits and sustainability, to explain whether (and which parts of) the programme represents good value for money, and under what conditions.
