Abstract:
Glasgow City Council commissioned the delivery of the Exploring Pedagogy in Primary 1 (EPP1) professional development programme (PDP) to continue its commitment to raising children's educational attainment in schools as part of the Scottish Attainment Challenge Initiative. The EPP1 project aimed to improve learning experiences through a targeted professional development programme exploring pedagogical approaches and theories to inform practice in the early years. The project ran from June 2017 to June 2018 and involved a total of 18 teachers and practitioners from across five schools in Glasgow City Council. During this time, the teachers participated in an 8-week PDP designed, delivered and evaluated by the University of Strathclyde. The evaluation strand of the project evaluated the effectiveness of the EPP1 programme by examining its impact on children's learning experiences and teachers' thinking and practice, through a series of questionnaires, classroom observations and group discussions.Cite
In British Council-managed ELT projects in Chinese universities,Chinese project counterparts areselected from among the English-language teaching staff of the University.They work alongside aBritish Council-recruited lecturer(BCL)in developing whatever it is the project has been set up tocreate:a syllabus,teaching materials,a course,etc.During the lifetime of the project eachcounterpart is sent for a year’s postgraduate training(typically an MA in applied Linguistics)at aBritish university,the rationale being that the combination of training on the job and in the UK willequip them to take over the running of the project and ensure its long-term sustainability.This paperlooks at the staff development of the counterparts prior to their UK training.

Work in Wales took place between October 2016 and July 2017. The Welsh Team undertook the second round of pedagogical redesign and data collection as part of the Lead Creative Schools national scheme, a partnership programme between the Welsh government and the Arts Council of Wales. The project only involved public schools. The intervention was based on the Creative Partnerships approach (see Chapter 3 for more information on the signature pedagogies), with teacher professional development delivered by the Wales programme team in partnership with Creativity, Culture and Education, and the use of the "Creative Habits of Mind" rubric (see Chapter 2) by teachers rather than the OECD rubric. The intervention with students consisted of interdisciplinary creative projects developed in collaboration with artists with a literacy or numeracy focus. It lasted 6-12 weeks over the spring.

Collective ed. is a Collective Impact initiative hosted by the Beacon Foundation, working to identify and test practices aimed at improving Year 12 attainment, or equivalent, as well as post-school pathways for students in six Tasmanian communities between 2017-2021. The Beacon Foundation has commissioned the Peter Underwood Centre at the University of Tasmania to undertake an independent impact evaluation of the project focusing on outcomes for students. This report provides findings from a student survey conducted with Year 8 (n = 263) and Year 10 (n = 228)students at the six schools in Term 2, 2019. The overall response rate was 56%. The survey focused on valued elements of outcomes from Collective ed. collaboratively determined by key stakeholders through several workshops in 2017.

The Strathclyde Enhanced Partnership Initiative is one of ‘a ‘family’ of pilots in the west of Scotland taking forward recommendations from the Scottish Government report by Graham Donaldson, Teaching Scotland’s Future. The thinking behind this pilot built on previous pilot projects developed by Glasgow University with Glasgow City Council and North Ayrshire Council. All of the pilots focus on developing partnerships between university, education authority and schools to support students’ professional development and assess their progress during placement. SEPI’s version of shared observation and dialogue was specifically tailored to placement experience. Students would work together to lead and observe a lesson, focus on an aspect of practice and discuss their observations and suggestions for improvement with a tutor. As in the Glasgow University pilot, SEPI encouraged description rather than evaluation of practice during lesson observations. In secondary placements, following debates about the respective contributions from subject tutors and generalist school-based tutors in supporting students, the SEPI pilot continued to use both but with reduced visits from subject specialist tutors. This evaluation of the initiative aimed to take account of the distinctive features of the Strathclyde pilot and the strengths, differing contexts and stages of development of its work with the authority and its schools. Evidence was gathered of the views of students, teachers and tutors through interviews and questionnaires. This evidence was considered alongside direct observation of the activities taking place.

The REACT programme was designed to make a significant impact on student engagement and the student experience in the Higher Education (HE) sector in England and Wales over a two-year period, from July 2015 to July 2017. The focus, in particular, was on the engagement of so-called ‘hard to reach’ students, and the programme included: investigation into the term ‘hard to reach’ and a consideration of which students are characterised in this way; a formal research project looking at links between student engagement, retention and attainment; and a development programme as a collaboration between fifteen UK universities. Outcomes from each of these were disseminated at a final conference at the University of Winchester in May 2017, where practice and findings from the programme as a whole were shared. The programme also included the creation of a website of case studies and tools for use by the sector. The programme was funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and was formally evaluated by an external team from GuildHE.

This report is the final report for the YuMi Deadly Maths Western Metropolitan Region Schools Project. It builds on from the 2012 August Interim Report and the 2013January Interim Report (see YuMi Deadly Centre, 2012, 2013). It should be read as a follow-on from those reports. This report focuses specifically on (1) project overview, (2)workshop participation and activities,(3)the Western Metropolitan Region Sharing Summit, (4) Teachers as researchers: Measure of impact,and (5) Implications.The overarching aim of the present project was to increase the capacity and professional collaboration of teachers to teach mathematics in ways that engage students actively in the learning process thus enhancing learning outcomes.

This chapter will report on the findings of a Professional Development and Research Contract funded by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in New Zealand which ran between June 2005 and June 2007. The project was mainly organised through running workshops and providing schools with access to facilitators over a two year period. There were four workshops in each of the three regions Auckland, Taranaki and Manawatu. Data was collected from the participants at all the workshops.

This lecture focussed on the early impact of the Times Tables Innovation Project which is funded by the SE London Maths Hub and designed and delivered by the Prof. Jenny Field. This lecture explored the qualitative and quantitative data sets which have emerged from this year-long action research project with 20 schools across the South East, plus some early implications from the case study which followed with 15% of these schools from Cohort 1.
