For teachers wanting to engage in research-informed practice and raise their pupil outcomes.

The NEW TDT Collaborative Enquiry courses have been designed to support both school leaders and teachers to successfully implement Collaborative Enquiry in their schools, to engage in practitioner research and work with colleagues to critically reflect on and refine practice.

Participants will be supported to carry out an enquiry with colleagues over at least two terms. This training provides an opportunity for participants to engage in practitioner research and work with colleagues to critically reflect on practice.

Book this training to:

  • improve outcomes for pupils, particularly the most disadvantaged, through effective teacher development
  • cultivate a culture of enquiry and critical reflection built on high quality professional conversations
  • develop a research informed approach to teaching and learning
  • provide opportunities for colleagues to share best practice and develop collective expertise
