2develop for Schools

2develop for Schools is our online training needs analysis tool initially developed under the name Identifit.

This online system is being used extensively throughout the country by schools and Local Authorities to assist with performance management, school improvement planning, OfSTED reporting, continuous professional development (CPD) and more. It includes questionnaires against support staff qualifications and roles, teacher standards and roles, quality standards including Investors in People, online action planning and CPD log.

Identifit was created following feedback from schools and LA's on the difficulty they were having in meeting the national school agenda targets. Following in depth research it was decided that an online training needs analysis tool would assist to meet the needs highlighted by the research.

Due to technological advances Identifit has recently been replaced by 2develop for Schools and is fully endorsed by the Schools Workforce Partnership as their recommended system for schools.
