Turning reports into reality

Evidence-led learning at the heart of modern education development. And, whilst the value of fully fledged, funded research projects is clear and embraced, we also believe in ‘the little guys’ – the informal, evidence-led trials, pilots and case-studies that inform day-to-day teaching and learning, financial management, procurement, web development and more. So, we invite and encourage colleagues to share by:

  • Completing & sharing short surveys
  • Visiting & contributing to Forums
  • Submitting evidence-led case studies
  • Share video & audio podcasts
  • Signposting funding sources
  • Floating ideas for research

Global Learner Survey (Pearson)

"We are in the midst of a moment in which we can rewrite the future of education to make it more accessible and equitable. We don’t know what the future holds. But, what is clear, is that all of us – employers, educators, parents and students – have a role to play in helping the world adapt and thrive in a post-pandemic world." John Fallon, CEO, Pearson

This fascinating survey was conducted on behalf of Pearson from June 8–14, 2020 by The Harris Poll, a global market research firm based in New York City with over 50 years of history in polling. It was completed by 7,038 people aged between 16–70 years old across the globe.

The Forgotten Third (ASCL)

The Forgotten Third (ASCL)

"They are ‘forgotten’ not only in the sense that they are never the ones pictured jumping for joy in local newspapers, but because their chances of progression are diminished in further study, future careers, and, ultimately, in life."

The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) launched an independent Commission of Inquiry in October 2018 to look into how to improve the prospects of what we have called ‘the forgotten third.’

The Great Recovery (CSJ)

The Great Recovery: A post Covid-19 deal for Britain

The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) was established as an independent think-tank in 2004 to put social justice at the heart of British politics and make policy recommendations to tackle the root causes of poverty.

This paper is structured in three parts to reflect that reality and to recognise that the recovery from this crisis must be based on those pillars that underpin all great recoveries.

Questions?

Absolutely! Please feel free to to submit into one of the relevant forum groups and we’ll go from there. You can also contact us through the form on this page, or using the main contact form found in the site menu.

Yes please! We’re more than happy to publicise your questionnaire or survey. Submit directly into into a Forum and we’ll send it out as part of our ongoing communications. Please remember things like closing dates, identifiers and – ideally the rationale behind the survey as this will increase engagement and signpost the purpose.

We actively curate research and evidence-led practice that best supports the priorities of the local community. We invite schools, colleges, universities and Trusts to submit – and we also keep our ears to the ground for other rich sources of information. For example, the fantastic Global Learner Survey by Pearson is an example of partner research that has a much deeper and broader reach. Equally, you’ll find smaller projects that we’ve linked out to on school or Trust websites – or – where people have submitted themselves directly into the Forums.
