How I work: the Plan-Do-Review process

I use the nationally recognised Plan-Do-Review process in my work as an Educational Psychologist, because I believe that better outcomes for children and young people are achieved when this process is used.

Here is an overview of the Plan-Do-Review process:

• The Plan-Do-Review process is based on theories of learning. Those theories recognise that learning is not just a single event. Learning is an active process that includes practice and reflection.


• Lots of organisations use a Plan-Do-Review process because it provides a formal framework for exploring what needs to change.


• The Plan-Do-Review process is used in schools to help understand a child or young person’s difficulties and how any difficulties may be supported.


• The Plan-Do-Review process takes place in one meeting.


• The Plan involves:
  
  
• Discussing concerns.


• Exploring the indications from any assessments.


• Focusing on the outcomes we want to achieve.


• The Do stage involves:
  
  
• Creating an action plan to identify what support a child or young person needs to help them make progress.


• The Review (a date will be set for this meeting) is the opportunity to check if the action plan is working.
