Learning Pulse

Learning Pulse is a long-term school improvement partnership that connects evidence, professional learning and implementation support to make a measurable difference to learning.

Working alongside your leaders and teachers, ICA helps your school understand current practice, identify meaningful priorities and build the confidence and capability to sustain improvement.

What can Learning Pulse do for your school?

Learning Pulse helps your school turn insight into sustained improvement through four key areas:

Understand Your School

Build a clearer picture of learning through evidence and the experiences of your school community to identify meaningful priorities.

Access Tailored Support

Connect professional learning, coaching and implementation support directly to your school's improvement priorities.

Measure Meaningful Progress

Use evidence to evaluate the impact of changes, understand what's working and inform your next steps.

Build Lasting Capability

Strengthen your leaders' and teachers' confidence and expertise to lead and sustain school improvement.

 Four Perspectives, One Clear Picture

Learning Pulse brings together perspectives from stakeholders across your school to build a clearer picture of learning experiences, identify patterns and uncover meaningful opportunities for improvement.

Learner Pulse

How do learners experience learning, and what helps or challenges them?

Teacher Pulse

What are teachers noticing about learning, and how does this inform their practice?

Parent Pulse

What do families notice about their children's learning and development?

Leader Pulse

What do these perspectives reveal, and which questions deserve deeper exploration?

These perspectives provide the starting point for a school-specific enquiry, supported by your dedicated Learning Pulse Partner.

A Continuous Cycle for Improvement

Your Learning Pulse Partner works with your school to understand the evidence, agree priorities, support changes in practice and evaluate their impact. Each cycle informs the next steps in your improvement journey.
