Drawn for this page. Motivation, general capacity and practice-specific capacity all have to be there; the weakest one decides how far a school gets.

How to use it

  1. Start a review with a school or project code and the date.
  2. Name the practice and the stage you are in.
  3. Rate each statement together, from evidence where you have it.
  4. Read the weakest part and the next step.
  5. Copy the review to a new date at each stage and rate again.

Check readiness

The ideas behind it

Readiness = motivation × capacity²

The R = MC2 heuristic describes readiness as motivation to use the practice, the school’s general capacity, and capacity specific to this practice. Because the parts multiply, a low score in any one holds the whole thing back.

Stages

Exploration decides whether to adopt; installation builds the supports; initial implementation is the awkward first use; full implementation is when most staff use it well. Each stage needs different help.

What this is not

A validated readiness instrument. The statements were written for this page to start a team conversation.
