Our programmes

Leading R&D in Schools

This innovative professional development programme is for middle and senior leaders interested in engaging in and with research. Leading R&D in Schools is a core element of the IOE R&D Network, providing a supportive forum for emerging and existing research leads to share and develop their practice in leading learning-centred, evidence- informed improvement within and across schools. Between sessions, participants are encouraged to apply their learning through collaborative, practice-based enquiries centred on issues of strategic importance to their schools.

Leading Lesson Study across schools

This programme is targeted at SLEs, Lead Practitioners or any school leaders working within or across schools to improve learning. It will enable participants to lead and manage effective lesson study projects within and across schools ensuring strong and sustained impact on pupil attainment.

Research into Action

Rooted in a robust approach to innovation and evaluation, Research into Action provides school leadership teams with a simple, powerful framework for envisioning and effecting positive change across multiple key strategic areas.

Research Informed Peer Review

Improve your school with a deep form of peer review, enhanced by evidence-informed principles of evaluation and implementation.  Work together with other school leaders and practitioners to develop leadership and pedagogy.

Research Informed Peer Review involves reciprocal school visits to gather and scrutinise evidence and identify improvement points for learning and development. The approach is based around the principles of effective peer review but enhanced by additional engagement with academic research and a HE facilitator.
