Research for Teachers (RfT for GTC)

CUREE has appraised, selected and summarised one or more published research studies and presented teacher case studies to illustrate the findings.

We are selecting research that, in our view:

  • illuminates the complex tasks involved in teaching
  • enables teachers to see clearly whether there are links with their own pupils and practice, and what these are
  • provides detailed information about the particular teaching and learning processes in classrooms with which teachers can identify
  • is written and presented as accessibly as possible, in case teachers want to obtain and read the original text.

Teacher Research Informed Practice Site (TRIPS for DCSF)

This site offers easy access to essential research findings for teachers, governors, parents and all those who support them in the education of school age students.

Our aim is to help you make sure that practice and policy in schools, and at a regional and national level, are informed by good and up-to-date evidence. Visit http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/research/ for more information.
