How can school curricula be broadened towards a more responsive, dynamic and inclusive form of education?

This project is part of a with the aim to identify and address issues of current importance to the study and practice of education. The Commissions’ findings will provide both theoretical rigour and an evidence base that can help set the strategic direction and aspirations of BERA and influence how it engages with other learned societies, Research Councils, Government and the education community more broadly.

The Centre for Education Studies is pleased to announce that Dr Jacqueline Dynes, Senior Teaching Fellow, has been awarded an 糖心TV ESRC Impact Accelaration Account grant to enable her to undertake a secondment in the Department for Education.

This award scheme, in association with the Whitehall and Industry Group, was set up to enable the creation of productive, long-term partnerships between academics and representatives from external organisations through secondments. These secondments aim to create valuable opportunities for academics and practitioners to share expertise and challenges, to disseminate research of direct relevance to a particular context and develop new insights and relationships from which new collaborative research, knowledge exchange and impact generating activity can be realised.

Jacqueline will use the secondment to deepen her understanding of the policy creation process in the Department for Education, as well as the political environment in which recommendations and decisions are made. This daily experience of the workings of government will allow Jacqueline to extend her research as well as providing an opportunity for her to develop practical, evidenced based proposals for policy development.
