Evidence-informed practice

The research in this strand aims to explore the ways in which formal and informal evidence and expertise can inform practice within and between organisations.

Theme leader: Professor Louise Stoll

Aims

The research in this strand aims to explore the ways in which formal and informal evidence and expertise can inform practice within and between organisations, and the role of leaders as well as wider cultural factors and formal mechanisms in enabling this.

Collaborations

Many projects in this strand involve working closely with schools and other educational partners to design, undertake and evaluate focused improvement projects, often working closely with our team of expert Programme Leaders and facilitators.
