REFLECT evaluation report
With conversation at the core of REFLECT Peter Renshaw, Evaluator for the REFLECT programme, has tried to ensure that he has listened to the many voices that have resonated throughout the programme. The process involved interviews, questionnaires and responses collected at Training and Gathering Days. We are specifically indebted to Dr Alexandra Lamont Senior Lecturer in Psychology of Music and Rebecca Hale, doctoral student, at the Research Institute for Life Course Studies, Keele University for their analysis of co-mentor questionnaires.
In her summary of the questionnaire evaluation Dr Alexandra Lamont considers that the overall data gave:
"...a positive impression of the impact of the REFLECT programme, which has been well received by both those working in schools and in creative organisations. The strongest relationship between factors found here is that between the effectiveness of the matching process between co-mentors and the overall effectiveness of the programme in terms of personal, professional, organisational and creative outcomes. In general most participants found the entire process to be of considerable benefit, and it has produced some major shifts in thinking and in practice amongst some participants. Many view the co-mentoring relationship as one which will have long-term benefits as well as contributing to the effectiveness of working practices in the short term."
