Project Description

This is a collaborative project. The project will be user-led, benefitting from existing relationships between two University of Hull academics and two Academy Trusts, with the relationships centred on partnership and knowledge exchange. There is a mutual desire to support teachers to be researchers in their own classrooms, to evaluate and develop teachers’ working practices and enhance pupil wellbeing to support achievement. The need for teachers’ CPD is underpinned by existing educational research (Education Policy Institute; Wellcome, 2020). Action-research is pivotal in creating an evidence base to showcase school improvements, making a difference to the culture in school ethos and vision, centred around continuous CPD with the action-research cycle driving the potential impact that reflective practice can have on pupils' mental health and wellbeing.
