The event will examine the participatory nature of the Department's research and spotlight the power and skill of children and young people in schools to contribute to educational research impact.

There will be a panel of researchers from the Department of Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment and videos from a number of pupils from recent research projects in schools. The pupils will discuss and critique their role in the research projects.

About the Department of Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment

Many academics in the Department of Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment (CPA) work and research in schools with children and young people, either as teacher educators, teacher developers or classroom researchers. CPA therefore has unique access to the children and young people in schools whom educational research and practice ultimately serves. This event will showcase a selection of this work, illustrating the power of the voice of children and young people within CPA's work and demonstrating the subsequent impact it has had on research, policy and practice.

Vickie M. Crockett, EdS, has been in the field of education for 23 years. She holds a BA in Literature as well as an MSE and EdS in Curriculum and Instruction. Her content specialisation is in Secondary Reading and Literature, and she has spent 20 years in the classroom supporting learners from a wide range of ability levels. Vickie has also held several leadership roles including mentor teacher, departmental head, advanced learning liaison, and high-risk recovery lead. In addition to her instructional background, Vickie is a passionate advocate for students from marginalised and under-served student populations. She has engaged in national and international work around this theme in the USA, China, Spain, and Brazil where she worked with partner agencies on developing culturally relevant content and instructional practices.

A current Fulbright fellow at IOE, Vickie is conducting an action-research study on culturally inclusive teaching and learning and its impact on outcomes for non-majority students. While at IOE, Vickie will be partnering with local schools to study effective strategies and to support outcomes for representative student communities. Her goal is to contribute to policy around pedagogy and teacher preparation to meet the needs of increasingly diverse student populations.

Professor Eleanore Hargreaves

Professor Learning and Pedagogy at IOE's Department of Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment

Professor Eleanore Hargreaves researches with children about their own learning and experiences of classrooms. Attention to this is partly a matter of hearing the voices of marginalised groups, since children’s perspectives are rarely included in strategic research or policy programmes. This focus on children’s insights about learning and schooling is also fundamental in progressing schools’ agenda for well-being and social justice, in UK and globally. Eleanore is particularly keen to hear the voices of children from countries and situations in which they are most frequently side-lined, such as in middle/low income countries, migration situations and primary-school classrooms.
