The National Teacher Research Panel was set up about 15 years ago by CUREE supported by a group of national education agencies most of which no longer exist. It had three main goals:
- To ensure that all research in education takes account of the teacher perspective
- To ensure a higher profile for research and evidence informed practice in government, academic and practitioner communities
- To increase the number of teachers engaged in and with the full spectrum of research activity.
Over the several years of its existence, the Panel, supported by its expert advisers in CUREE, has helped and encouraged dozens of teachers and school leaders to do high quality but practical research. The Panel also helped them report their findings succinctly, in plain English and focused on relevance to other practitioners. This is one such example of that work.
Aim: Engagement with research to raise attainment in Literacy across the school using a programme based on the recommendations of the Rose Review into the teaching of early Literacy. Core objectives in achieving this aim were:
To pilot the Primary National Strategys “Communication, Language and Literacy Development (CLLD) Programme“ in Reception;
To trial aspects of the programme in Years 1 and 2; and
To develop appropriate CPD for colleagues in order to cascade the letters and sounds programme across the school. Attitudes; CPD; Literacy/English; Primary Primary sites/default/files/NTRP/K Miller_J Rainford_FINAL.pdf; sites/default/files/NTRP/K Miller_J Rainford_FINAL.doc
