The Innovation Unit supported teacher involvement with research in a number of ways:
The National Teacher Research Panel
The National Teacher Research Panel was supported by The Innovation Unit. It is an independent group of practising teachers who work to
- ensure that all research in education takes account of the teacher perspective
- ensure a higher profile for research and evidence informed practice in government, academic and practitioner communities, and
- increase the number of teachers engaged in research activity.
 The Research Informed Practice Site
The site was supported by The Innovation Unit.
The Research Informed Practice Site (TRIPS)
offers easy access to essential research findings for teachers,
governors, parents and all those who support them in the education of
school-age students. The aim is to help you make sure that practice and
policy in schools, and at a regional and national level, are informed
by good and up-to-date evidence. Grouped under themes such as
Assessment and Gender, this site provides accessible digests of
research which:
- use plain language and clear illustrations
- allow readers to move simply between different ideas and digests according to their interests
- look at some of the implications for practitioners that arise from the practical questions posed in the digests.
Much of this evidence can be found in research journals and other
sources that take time, energy and often money to access. This site
takes articles from research journals and summarises them with the
needs of practitioners in mind.
On the site you can also sign up for a newsletter to keep you
up-to-date with the latest research findings and what is being
commissioned.
