The Evidence People
Philippa's presentation at the Hallam Festival of Education on 14th June 2019
Her presentation set out the evidence underpinning effective mentoring. She described the characteristics of good mentoring and supported this with examples through videos and activities.
This presentation explores why and how outlier characteristics of initial teacher education in England have a lasting impact on CPD. It draws on two bodies of research - the Developing Great Subject Teaching Review sponsored by the Wellcome Foundation and work by the OECD Expert Group on initial teacher preparation which carried out a number of country reviews in Europe, the Americas, Far East and Australasia
On the 21st June Philippa Cordingley presented at the Developing Great Teachers Conference in Cardiff, drawing on CUREE's extensive work with mentoring and coaching and the international evidence behind effective CPDL in 'CPDL that works for pupils as well as teachers; evidence based tools for embedding high-quality coaching'

Launched at a prestigious gathering at the House of Commons on 9th June, this report outlnes the findings from a recent systematic review of the international research literature examining the evidence of what makes effective teachers' professional development and learning. This 'umbrella' review builds on but substantially updates the findings of several earlier Reviews many of which were undertaken by CUREE. This recent review is the product of a team from CUREE, Durham University and UCL Institute of Education . It was supported by the Teachers Development Trust and TES Global.
The work is presented in three ways, each of which is downloadable from this page:
One of the- some would say the one - key pre-occupations of leadership is the future. And the trouble with the future is that it hasn't happened yet - so there are many techniques for attempting to organise thinking around shaping the future. This simple table compares the key features of three different currently popular approaches or methodologies.
CUREE's Local Leadership of Education and Training project for the Education and Training Foundation included some experimental testing of these three approaches which you can also download from here

CUREE was commissioned by the Education & Training Foundation to research the key issues in the teaching of maths and English in the sector. Conducted very rapidly and in partnership with EmCETT we interviewed policy makers and experts, reviewed the international research evidence and consulted leaders and practitioners across the sector. We think the report provides a fascinating window into how maths and English teachers and their leaders are thinking about the new level 2 challenges. The full report is published here now and will also be available on the Foundation website shortly.

Five of the seven interventions had a distinct and 'complete' cycle in the first year. The post tests (literacy or numeracy) were carried out in June/July and the National College (assisted by DfE Analytical Services) are analysing the results. A preliminary view of these is expected to be available in September.
