A Welcome from the Chief Executive
CUREE works at the leading edge of research and evidence-informed educational policy and practice. Our mission centres on promoting the use of evidence by building bridges between academic research and professional practice. We support practice-driven action research, develop tools for Continuing Professional Development (CPD), for organisational leadership and for teaching and learning. We believe in modelling good practice in everything we do and our work in consultancy, advice, development and training in the use of research and evidence is consistently informed by the principles underpinning effective mentoring and coaching in education.
We work in collaboration with a range of individuals and organisations. Our clients include national organisations such as the General Teaching Council (GTC), the National College (formerly the NCSL), the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) and the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA). We work with the UK government, in particular the DCSF, and increasingly other people's governments (e.g. Italy, Canada). Of course, we also work directly with schools, and colleges - individually and in networks - and with Local Authorities across the country.
We have tried to include a lot of resources on our site of use to practitioners, leaders and policy makers. We have also included links to lots of relevant stuff in other places (much of which we made too). I hope you find it useful. If so, please let us know.
Philippa Cordingley
Research in class
The highlight of Philippa’s recent successful trip to the Ontario Education Research Symposium is her well-received keynote speech on “Bringing Research Into the Classroom”, which explores connections between research and classroom teaching and help delegates to understand the roles of Continuing Professional Development and knowledge management/mobilisation. The keynote powerpoint is a small excerpt of a presentation through which were threaded a number of interactive exchanges, metaphors analogies and stories.
