In Summer of 2020, the Research Methodology in Education SIG and the Practitioner Researchers SIG hosted the Principles into Practice event. An event was requested to find out how/why Head Teachers and Senior Management (Leadership) Teams encourage research in developing their school or as the basis for interventions.
The questions raised were:
The Educational Leadership SIG has joined us to provide a follow-up event. We are looking for Head Teachers and members of Senior Management Teams to share their experiences and good practice. We are interested in hearing from schools around the globe.
The first part would be to produce a stand-alone 15 minute presentation which would address some of the questions above. These will be recorded and available online from the 12th April 2021.
The second element will be a panel discussion where there will be a live chaired discussion by the practitioner presenters with opportunities to put questions to them and hear their responses to those raised earlier from their recorded presentations.
The abstract submission deadline was 22 March 2021.
