The Centre was asked by the Cabinet Secretary for Education to review the evidence on how best to support teacher engagement with research. Working with colleagues at the Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Co‑ordinating Centre (EPPI Centre) at University College London (UCL), we have:
- Reviewed and synthesised what is known about what works when seeking to improve teacher engagement with, and use of, evidence.
- Started to build a picture of existing initiatives in Wales (particularly at national and regional level) that seek to improve teacher engagement with, and use of, evidence.
- Provided some suggestions for how teacher engagement with, and use of, evidence can be supported and improved in Wales in the short, medium, and long term.
