General questions

a. Strategic management:
b. Operational management/implementation:
2. LA's conception of enterprise - overall target of plan.
3. Any specific focus in response to local context ( e.g. focus on disengaged learner).
4. What is being done to raise awareness in wider community ( i.e. what communication strategies are planned?)
5. Does the plan address the specific needs of special schools?
6. Is anything being done to involve more businesses in schools?
7. What is being done to develop teaching and learning methods related to enterprise teaching (including initial teacher training ( ITT) and continuous professional development ( CPD)?
Overview questions
1. In what ways does this plan identify activities related to each of the four elements of the DtS strategy? To what extent does the LA make a distinction between the four?
2. To what extent is this LA building on existing practice? Can the plan best be characterised as extending or initiating practice?
3. Any examples of particularly innovative practice?
4. Are there any noticeable gaps in provision?
5. Researcher comments (clarity of plan; gaps; etc.).
