Previous EEF research had found that teachers often struggle to interpret and act on research findings in their day-to-day practice.
As such, trials of two programmes have been run as part of a £1.5 million project to improve the link between academic research and classroom practice.
In the first, 10 schools in the Rochdale area worked with the Inspirational Professional Learning Community Network to deliver half-termly training sessions with a “Research into Practice Lead” focusing on specific areas of research.
The schools worked collaboratively to apply specific interventions to real classroom issues, sharing experiences of implementation and impact.
Independent evaluation of the project showed that teachers felt more able to relate research to their own contexts and were more positive about research.
