Research and Development

​

The Romero Teaching School Alliance is continually striving to improve the learning experiences for young people in our schools.

​

We actively encourage teacher research and the development of outstanding pedagogical practice.

We use the SSAT Lead Practitioner Accreditation programme to foster a research-based profession and we encourage teachers in the alliance to undertake small scale research to trial new methods and to disseminate good practice.

​

The alliance hosts an annual Teacher Learning Conference, which is well attended by all partners. Teachers present their research findings to their peers at the conference.

​

Schools are encouraged to develop clear career related expectations, a professional development journey for teachers and to embed reflective practice in performance appraisal processes.

​

Every year the alliance seeks funding for DfE research and development projects and in addition commissions projects of its own in strategically agreed areas.

​

The alliance produces its own professional journal, Pedagogy Exchange (PedEX) which shares good practice and disseminates information about Research and Development. Click here for current copy and archives.

​

If you are interested in undertaking research and development through the Lead Practitioner accreditation programme please contact our Director of Teaching School, Jo Pridding. Click here to RTSA enquiry form.
