Five years ago we started our business by introducing a pioneering method for teachers to obtain 360-degree feedback in their classroom. It worked by enabling teachers to obtain quantitative and qualitative feedback on their practice from students, observers, and a self-assessment.

The EI’s platform is human-centred and development focused.

The final product in our professional development suite was dedicated to school support staff, again based on a framework of best practice that we developed with our customers.
