The Evidence People
Here at CUREE, we are currently hard at work designing a new wave of off-the-shelf Route Maps for use in schools - drawing upon our extensive experience with research informed development tools to produce effective support for common classrooms concerns.
CUREE, in collaboration with 157 Group (now the Collab Group) and supported by LSIS, piloted a system for evaluating and fine tuning these processes in FE colleges. Based in international research and already proven in schools, the SKEIN FE service was co-developed with Derby College, piloted in York and Cornwall Colleges and tested in collaboration with many other 157 Group members. The fully adapted service is available to colleges.

Finding the time to share and plan lessons is always tricky. Staff who are trained in coaching skills and who share an understanding of their role as professional learners are well equipped to make effective use of the little time available. Recently CUREE has been involved in training support staff in coaching skills and introducing them to a range of resources which enable them to work collaboratively with other staff (both teaching and support) and ensure that they can recognise when and how to access specialist expertise to further their own learning.
CUREE has produced the Inside Evidence bulletin since its inception first by QIA and now its successor LSIS. Inside Evidence is an innovative publication for the learning and skills sector, bringing as it does relevant research and developments in teaching and learning to the attention of practitioners, curriculum leaders, subject learning coaches, and senior leaders. Originally published as a section of the Journal, it became a stand alone publication last year. In its current guise IE is produced in 3 easy to access formats:
