We are delighted to announce £2.4m in funding to the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) for an innovative five-year project targeting teacher preparation and development.
Teaching Improvement through Data and Evaluation (TIDE) aims to improve outcomes for pupils by improving teacher development practices.
Currently, it is difficult to know which teacher development routes and practices to prioritise. This is due to researchers not being able to link professional development with attainment outcomes for pupils.
This project will bring together a wealth of strictly anonymised data from the NIoT’s founding trusts to explore how or what approaches to teacher training, classroom practice and CPD impact pupil outcomes. The project is the first of its kind tried at this scale in the UK.
