There is a shared culture of using evidence-informed practice to develop skilled and knowledgeable teachers across the North London Alliance. The Research School will build on these foundations, supporting local and regional schools to translate the best research evidence into classroom practice.

Through a range of training and exemplification, covering different pedagogical approaches and subject themes, the aim is to reach a wide audience of teachers and leaders in our region.

Specialisms

Specialisms are offered in the following areas:

• Professional learning design and implementation
• Communication and Language, including explicit vocabulary teaching across all key stages
• Mastery in Mathematics
• Primary and Secondary Literacy
• Cognitive Science: understanding and applying the science of learning to the classroom

The aim is to develop an evidence-informed ecosystem through sustained partnerships with networks of schools, teachers, and school improvement partners. Together, the networks will focus on the most effective approaches that benefit disadvantaged learners in our schools and communities.
