Alumni wanted for Verbal Feedback Project

The project

The UCL Access and Widening Participation Office is partnering with the London Centre for Leadership in Learning and Ross McGill, to lead an innovative Research and Development (R&D) project. Outputs from the project, including research findings and a toolkit, will be shared in September 2019.

The project will focus on students in years 7 and 8 (KS3) and work with 20 teachers recruited from 10 schools. Participating teachers will receive five days CPD at UCL to support their work on the project and this will include training in verbal feedback approaches and also in setting up, running and evaluating a school-based R&D programme. The project provides an excellent opportunity to gain expertise in both verbal feedback approaches and school-based R&D programmes.

Eligibility

We are looking for pairs of teachers from each school to apply, both of whom should be teaching a year 7 and/or 8 class during 2018/19. Each applicant will need to complete their own application form and these will be paired during the shortlisting process.  Applicants should also discuss the project with their head teacher, and gain school approval before submitting their application. Project schools will receive a bursary of £1,600 to help with cover costs and travel expenses associated with the project.
