A World Class Teaching Profession
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
- Evidence from our extensive work with schools in evaluating how effectively they are connecting teacher and pupil learning
- Evidence from our study of Exceptional and Strong Schools for Teach First http://bit.ly/1hi4OLS
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.

Professional Development Today
Philippa Cordingley and Natalia Buckler have written in Professional Development Today about the use of specialist expertise in schools and colleges.
