Governance

CUREE brings the same evidence-based approach to governance as it does to leadership and teaching and learning. We draw on the published evidence; we do empirical research ourselves and several members of staff are actively engaged as governors and chairs and in supporting other governors.

CUREE is pleased to present its response to this very important and timely consultation. Our responses draw on evidence from the numerous systematic reviews of the international evidence that we have been involved in including:

- a forthcoming, systematic umbrella review updating the CPD evidence commissioned by the Teacher Development Trust and carried out by CUREE with Durham university and the UCL Institute of Education, London

- Our systematic review of the evidence about practitioner use of research http://bit.ly/1Eq6kXb

- Evidence from the New Zealand Best Evidence Syntheses on CPD and on leadership http://bit.ly/1pHbtBL, http://bit.ly/1ECtF8m

- Evidence from our national evaluations of the quality of CPD provision and the former Post Graduate Development Programme

Investigating Compulsion for Mathematics Study to 18

In comparison to other jurisdictions, England is viewed as having a mathematics ‘problem’ at all age groups, but specifically for those aged 16–18 years.The government has shown its support for increasing participation in mathematics, stating that it hopes to have ‘the vast majority of 16- to 18-year-old learners studying some form of mathematics within the next decade’. The research contained herein sought to investigate the evidence behind the calls for compulsion.

Teach First

As a follow-up to CUREE's work with Teach First on the High-Performing Schools project, we are now beginning work on a new project with Teach First to evaluate factors which influence a school's developmental progress over time. 

OECD CERI Conference on Innovation, Governance and Reform in Education

Philippa presented at OECD's CERI Conference on Innovation, Governance and Reform in Education earlier this month. You can find out more about the conference here: http://www.oecd.org/edu/ceri/ceri-conference-2014.htm

Philippa's presentations were part of the conference dedicated to Knowledge-intensive Governance, Innovation and Chance; looking at how knowledge in and about education is created, mediated and used, and the adequacy of such knowledge bases to fulfil the many demands being made of them. This part of the conference focused particularly on the demands for knowledge created, mediation and use that can feed into innovation and systems of decision-making and policy change. 

Philippa's first presentation titled 'How is knowledge in and about education effectively created, mediated and used? How effective are our systems for making use of it?' drew findings and conclusions from CUREE's extensive research into how knowledge is created and used.
