<p>Thank you Rituu - I think most tools need to be adapted to the context and are rarely used in a pure form. I think the discussion around specific issues like "most significant" or meaning of change is the most rewarding because it generates so much in information re values, perceptions and expectations. I would agree it is great for reflection and learning.</p>

<p>Thank you, Malcolm - this is interesting. I understand the dilemma about telling something "significant". I had similar experience - or the opposite, that there was not much reflection about significance at all. Your index of stories to identify trends sounds like a very good idea. </p>

<p>Our project is using Rick Davies and MandE's Most Significant Change approach in schools across Turkey. A large stumbling factor has been enabling school coordinators to understand what MSC stories should contain.

<p>Our project is using Rick Davies and MandE's Most Significant Change approach in schools across Turkey. A large stumbling factor has been enabling school coordinators to understand what MSC stories should contain. "MSC" as a description of the activity should never have been used because potential voices were lost due the daunting task of expressing something "significant". "Every little change" is perhaps better at the author level. I think the point also resonates with evaluators needing to ensure all voices are heard, in their rich diversity.</p>
<p>Our teacher coordinators saw it as a competition to get a really "significant" story and not as the rich tapestry you describe. This not only defeats the purpose but also creates a barrier to the participation in the monitoring. For the purpose of story collection "every little change" helps encourage the wider range and inclusive participation that we are striving for. It is all in the communication because as the evaluator of course we understand the value of all the stories, negative and positive as you say. <br/> At the same time, the teacher coordinators really want to understand the process they are involved in. I have found that presenting the index of all the stories and indicating how it enables us to identify trends of changes across different provinces (e.g. greater self-confidence in 5% of all stories, but 15% in a particular region) or unexpected changes that are actually widespread, and so on, really explains the process.</p>
