Building upon this, in her role as a Specialist Leader of Education, she has rolled out the implementation of research-based education across several schools across Yorkshire. In her work with Teaching Schools Hubs rolling out the new Early Career Teacher programme, juxtaposed to professional development with The Chartered College of Teaching, Seanna’s focus is to drive research-based education across schools and support teachers in being evidence-based practitioners.
