Update from Essex Research School
On 24 February, the Education Endowment Foundation launched 11 exciting new research projects across early years settings, primary, and secondary schools. Focused mainly on the themes of writing and maths, projects have been selected based on their potential impact on the attainment of socio-economically disadvantaged pupils.
The projects include:
- Peer-to-peer coaching to build maths skills in secondary school pupils
- Professional development for teachers led by occupational therapists to support handwriting skills for Year 1 pupils
- Training sessions with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), where Year 5 teachers will learn how to use the same techniques with their pupils that RSC actors use in rehearsals to unlock texts and bring them to life
By taking part, schools can access subsidised professional development for staff. They’ll also contribute to the evidence base on what works to improve outcomes, especially for those from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
