Overview
Our research community is designed to support outstanding educational practice through bringing together teachers, researchers in education, and experts and practitioners from other fields to develop innovative and rigorous approaches to teaching and learning. We offer a wide range of opportunities for schools to get involved in research, and a range of tools and expertise for schools to draw on in developing their own research-informed teaching.
Joining our research community
All institutions which become part of our community will have the opportunity to make use of open access tools and participate in our networks and research seminars. We then offer options which include modules accredited at Masters’ level, or support which is specifically tailored to your needs. The ExeterPartner Research Community is linked to our Chartered College of Teaching regional hub, South West Excellence in Education for Teachers (SWEET), which runs free termly CPD events.
