Developing Great Teaching - Lessons from international reviews of effective professional development

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 key finding of the Review was that carefully designed CPDL for teachers with a strong focus on pupil outcomes has a significant impact on pupil achievement.

The work is presented in three ways, each of which is downloadable from this page:

Leadership Methodologies Compared

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

Teachers' Professional Identities - CUREE at the ICSEI 2020 Conference

The International Congress for School Effectiveness and Improvement (ICSEI) is unusual for bringing together policy makers, educationalists and researchers from around the world. CUREE's Bart Crisp, with colleagues from the Universities of Ontario (Professor Carol Campbell) and Birmingham (Dr Tom Perry) went to the 2020 Conference held in Marrakesh to make presentations at a symposium drawing on the 3-year research project CUREE orchestrated for Education International.

That research explored how teachers' professional identities are formed through the lens of seven contrasting jurisdictions around the world.
