Examples of Effective Practice
What is 'effective practice'?
Effective practice describes a way of working which is particularly effective. Effective practice often involves:
- Being innovative
- Understanding and being responsive to the local environment
- Learning from previous experience - yours and others' experiences!
- Improving on previous performance
Why is 'effective practice' important
Discovering 'effective practice' is considered important by both the evaluators and the Fund. The importance placed on 'effective practice' is based on the idea that learning from others' experiences, both positive and negative, is a very effective way of learning.
Whilst there is a great deal of diversity amongst the individual projects funded through NOPES the principles of 'effective practice' are likely to be the same.
Examples of 'effective practice'
The evaluation team looked for examples of 'effective practice' during their evaluation. These encompassed both self-reported examples and those identified by the evaluators.
Examples of 'effective practice' were categorised by the six NOPES outcomes. They were mainly descriptive examples of particular practices at the fast-track projects.
