Job overview

In collaboration with the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), the IEE is expanding The Research Schools Network: Sector-Led Support for Evidence-Based Practice. With funding and support from the IEE and the EEF, Research Schools:
- Disseminate evidence-based interventions and practices, and support their implementation.
- Model and develop evidence-based practice.

With your experience in the field of education, you will work closely with the primary and secondary schools in the network to support the use of research evidence to inform teaching and learning. Up to 18 new Research Schools will be starting work in September 2017, joining the first 5 schools that started in 2016. Each of the Research Schools is expected to build relationships with schools in their region, developing a local network. This will develop over time into a national Research Schools Network.
Your role will be to work closely with colleagues at the IEE and the EEF to run the Research Schools Network including: managing and supporting the Research Schools project in the participating schools, encouraging them to disseminate and use research evidence, model evidence-based practice, and facilitate the development of pilot projects.
