CUREE CEO Philippa Cordingley's first column in a new fortnightly series aimed at helping teachers to become more research informed has just been published in the TES. TES subscribers can read the full article here (england.magazine.tes.com), and Twitter has already been abuzz!
The article includes links to a number of useful websites hosting accessible research to help grow colleagues' capacity for research and evidence-informed practice, and you can find a helpful summary of these below:
- The Chartered College of Teaching's new knowledge pathways (www.collegeofteaching.org/membership/knowledge-and-research), designed to support teachers in accessing high quality, relevant evidence via a range of bespoke routes connecting the worlds of research and education.
- The Education Endowment Foundation's (EEF) Teaching and Learning Toolkit (www.educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/resources/teaching-learning-toolkit), which summarises educational research on teaching 5-16 year olds.
- The Institute for Effective Education's fortnightly Best Evidence in Brief newsletter (www.beib.org.uk).
- The National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics' (NCETM) Accessing Research Study Modules (www.ncetm.org.uk/enquiry/35990), each "based on a particular research paper and is written to support you in thinking about the ideas and findings it contains, reflecting on your own views and practice and considering implications for your developing practice".
- The National STEM Learning Centre's STEM resources page (www.stem.org.uk/resources).
Last but certainly not least is the National Teacher Research Panel (NTRP) archive located on CUREE's own website (www.curee.co.uk/NTRP), hosting freely accessible summaries of practitioner research such as the Research for Teachers resources (http://www.curee.co.uk/NTRP/Resources?tid=203&title=&sort_by=title&sort_order=ASC).
