Standards Review Framework + 36O Review
Implementing the new Standards is easier when you’ve got the right tools for the job.
Help your staff expand their professional learning and ensure your school meets the demands of the ambitious new curriculum with our XLence Standards Review Framework and 360 Review module.
The Review Framework is intended for use by individuals, departments or even whole settings for conducting self and peer reviews of practice to get a summative evaluation of progress against the Standards at any time.
Our 360 Review module (part of the XLence Online System) makes recording reviews easy. Resulting data is displayed on radar charts, which make for excellent visual analysis and easy comparison.
Standards Monitoring Framework + T&L Development
Effectively evaluate the quality of teaching, learning and leadership alongside the Professional Standards.
Our Monitoring Framework is intended for use by schools to oversee teaching and learning development in their setting on a regular and frequent basis, as part of their ongoing monitoring processes.
Monitoring forms can be stored in our T&L Development Module, which generates instant, simple reports that break down areas for improvement and strengths. Ideal for sharing with governors and any other external parties.

The Frameworks
XLence Standards Review Framework
The XLence Standards Review Framework is designed to help teachers, peers and leaders appraise and evaluate teaching and leadership practices against all elements of the Professional Standards for Teaching and Leadership in Wales.
It is directly aligned to the five standards for teaching and leadership practice against which teachers’ and leaders’ development is measured throughout their career.
XLence Standards Monitoring Framework
In order to support further exemplification and evidence gathering from a wide variety of sources our XLence Standards Monitoring Framework (formerly known as the ETLF) can be used to evaluate a series of monitoring activities that take place in all schools.
The framework is particularly useful in providing guidance and proformas for identifying evaluative evidence from classroom observation, learning walks and work and planning scrutiny.
Supported by an intuitive online system…
Observations and reviews completed using the frameworks can be stored and analysed using our online system, XLence. Comprised of five optional modules, the system stores full logs of everything you record as a result of monitoring teaching and learning and conducting self and peer reviews, as well as staff appraisal objectives, CPD events and your SDP and SER.
