Our projects
CUREE’s work to improve teaching and learning is undertaken with many other organisations in the education world. With the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) we created The Research Informed Practitioner Site (TRIPS) and support the National Teacher Research Panel and its biennial Conference.
We worked with the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) on the National Framework for Coaching and Mentoring and have recently completed a long term evaluation of TDA Postgraduate Professional Development (PPD) programme. We undertook an initial evaluation of the CPD Providers Database and Code of Practice and are now working on a 2 year evaluation of the provision itself
Our work with the General Teaching Council for England (GTCE) has extended beyond producing the Research for Teachers materials to helping develop the Teacher Learning Academy. We are pleased also to be working with the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT), with their Enterprise Network, on the 14-19 project and also with a special programme to create accredited Lead Practitioner coaches.
CUREE increasingly works with individual and groups of schools and with local authorities to provide CPD resources and direct support for professional learning. We are also bringing our expertise around action research to many schools through the National College's Narrowing the Gap programme.
In the post-16 sector we support the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) to improve teaching and learning with Inside Evidence, a termly print and electronic research and evidence digest. .
We have close and positive links with the higher education sector, support the Economic and Social Research Council’s Teaching and Learning Research Programme and liaise closely with a number of research, CPD and ITE providers.
