What’s On

THE Faculty of Education will be holding a research seminar on leading the use of research and evidence in schools with Dr Chris Brown, UCL Institute.

Engaging with research and evidence as part of a process of effective professional development has substantial benefits for both teacher practice and student outcomes.

The talk at 1pm on May 12 talk is to provide a better understanding of how school leaders and policy-makers might harness these benefits.

Drawing on a range of methodologies and theoretical approaches, ranging from social network analysis to expertise; and drawing on notions of learning communities, knowledge creation, trust and informal leadership, Dr Brown will outline the range of factors and challenges that need to be juggled and tackled in order make research use in schools a reality.

With a long-standing interest in how evidence can aid teaching practice, he has written four books and several papers, and has given presentations on the subject at a number of international conferences both in Europe and North America.
