This course provides the opportunity to engage in an extended, context-specific classroom-based (action) research project to enhance the learning of pupils, self and others. Aligning with aspects of current discourse in education, participants will demonstrate a respect for evidence, in turn evaluating the impact of their project on self/others. Through an enquiry based approach participants will work with others (in learning communities) to identify and carry forward their professional knowledge in a specialist area of interest with a particular emphasis on pupil learning gains.

Summative assessment will be based on submission of a 6000 word report of the work undertaken, along with associated supporting materials generated which will be submitted as a portfolio of evidence. Resit: There will be one opportunity to resubmit the work completed, as revised, to take account of identified inadequacies in the original.
