Elevation - a service for CPD providers
What makes my CPD offer stand out in the crowd? With th\"Elevationeir new budget holding responsibilities, schools are scrutinising more than ever the quality of the CPD they access. They will want the best – and they will be increasingly discerning as they draw down your provision. How will you match up to this scrutiny? Are you, your colleagues and associates achieving your aspirations? Could delivery be even more effective for participants, schools and the pupils they serve? Will they say in six months time, ‘that was money well spent’ and come back for more?

Unprecedented number of CUREE research papers at BERA 2011
CUREE was very busy at BERA this year presenting 5 papers on 4 different research projects. CUREE doesn't do research unless it has the potential to enhance schools (or colleges) and impact positively on students.

Unprecedented number of CUREE research papers at BERA 2011
CUREE aims to spend about 1/3 of its effort on conducting research (we do similar amounts of consultancy and CPD) so it's fairly remarkable that, this year, we had 5 papers based on 4 different research projects to present to the British Educational Research Association annual conference at the London Institute in September 2011.
New term, new research...
New term, new research, new experience - high profile press coverage for a tiny sliver of the large scale research we carried out in the field in the last years of the noughties and which we presented at the BERA (British Educational Research Association) September 2011 conference in Londoni. It's true the research contains worrying statistics about students' experience of challenge -but it also contains very cheering and impressive evidence about
a) the changes pupils felt their teachers were making in relation to involving them more actively in their learning,
Implementing Curriculum Change
Between 2007 and 2011, CUREE conducted a wide range of surveys, focus groups, probes and synthesis work involving over 15,000 learners and 570 teaching staff.
For the 2011 BERA conference we present a summary of our findings from across the different separate technical reports. We describe the approaches taken in each of the three research strands in more detail in the second section of this report. Together, these evidence strands have yielded a consolidated body of data and a range of findings about curriculum development.
