Developing Great Leadership of CPDL and Curriculum Development

Today, Philippa is delivering an online presentation for ResearchED Home on the findings from a map of evidence from systematic reviews, with evidence about pupil impacts. One of the key notes from this presentation is that there is currently no systematic research reviews into curriculum development with evidence of pupil impacts, largely due to there being too few studies with this evidence to support them. Philippa touches on what designing effective CPDL (Continued Professional Development and Learning) means, how it contributes to curriculum development, and what the evidence about curriculum development says about CPDL. 

The goal of ResearchED is to bridge the gap between research and practice in education. Researchers, teachers, and policy makers come together for a day of information-sharing and myth-busting.

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.

Research and Evidence Based Capacity Building in Disadvantaged Communities:

Lessons from research and from R&D in Blackpool and North Wales

Presentation by Philippa Cordingley to the 2017 National ResearchEd event at Chobham Academy Stratford

The session explored the key building blocks for building momentum in school improvement through the lens of a year of research and evidence based development work in Blackpool secondary schools and across schools in North Wales drawing on interim impact reports. It focussed on issues such as understanding both capacity and barriers in depth, phasing, co-construction, scaffolding and harnessing the contributions of various stakeholders

Using email to assist reading

Aim: 1) To see if computer-mediated communication between boys at two different schools can enhance the reading ability and interest of Year 9 boys with low reading levels. 2) To make use of the opportunities for anonymity which email offers in order to allow teachers to assume multiple roles in the teaching of literature.
