Raising Standards Guides available for download

Welcome to the updated and refreshed versions of the Raising Standards Guides. Produced previously by the DfES Skills for Life Strategy Unit, the Guides are now the responsibility of LSIS.

We trust the Guides will prove to be a valuable tool. They have been designed to help you as teachers, trainers and managers to improve the quality of your work with learners in literacy, numeracy and language.

We hope the Guides, which are based on the Common Inspection Framework will help you look at what you need to do to achieve success with your learners, how you can go about it and how you will know you have succeeded. Teachers, trainers and managers often know what they have to do but are not always sure how to tackle change. Each contextual Guide in the series of thirteen - eleven available at present - helps to bridge the gap between understanding generic advice on improving quality and taking effective action in the learning context or setting that is specific to you.

The Guides (in PDF format) can be downloaded from this page. Please be aware that each Guide is approximately 2 Mb in size and may take a while to download especially on a slow internet connection.
