How to … integrate practitioner enquiry into professional learning and performance management

How can practitioner enquiry make a real difference in your schools? Lindsay Palmer and Nicky Theobald provide guidance drawn from their practice.

Research engagement and practitioner enquiry has become an integral part of our approach to continuous professional learning and to the performance management process. It is part of a culture of research based, joint practice development aiming to embed ‘best’ practice and cultivate ‘next’ practice across our school. There has been a significant journey in mindsets and attitudes, from a limited understanding of the role of research in professional development, to a firm belief that research engagement is an entitlement which has a considerable impact on the practice of individuals and of the collective.

      string(5886) "learning communities” (participating teacher).   “It is hoped that further developments will occur between schools so that this professional learning through enquiry is extended within the consortium” (participating headteacher). The Local Authority has worked actively with the consortium to facilitate opportunities to disseminate outcomes within the authority and through national conferences and networks.(Adapted from Handscomb and Macbeth, 2008)Box 3: Case Study 2: Research engaged professional learning geared to improving student learning and support:  Secondary school in Home Counties:This secondary school demonstrated a deep and lasting commitment to research-informed professional practice, and to developing a robust and sustainable learning community.  The school has a considerable history of encouraging staff to engage in and with research, As a result it now has a compelling and well-articulated vision for ensuring that research is both a core value and a visible characteristic of the professional practice of teaching; there is a strong collective commitment to nurturing a sustainable learning community involving staff and students across the whole school. There is abundant evidence of a culture where research is valued and perceived to be ‘part of what good teachers do’. The school’s rationale for engaging in research is to address more thoroughly and expertly the learning needs of the students. Significant time and resources have been allocated to establishing two cross-departmental teams whose work is research-led, supports professional learning and growth, and informs the school’s strategic pedagogical and pastoral development. Membership of these teams is, and is seen as, a significant career and professional development stage for staff. Over four years, a number of action research projects have become embedded into the school’s systems, processes and practice. The mutuality and interaction of teams’ work – alongside the better use of performance data and the critical use of relevant external research – is a key feature of the school’s commitment to a self-evaluative stance.The leadership for research at senior level is highly effective. Explicit support for school-wide and partnership research activity is provided by the Headteacher. Two Assistant Headteacher posts on the senior management team include roles and responsibilities for research strategy, and both post-holders are energetic leaders of data interpretation and use on the one hand, and research-engagement for professional learning and school improvement on the other.Teachers are expected to be continually questioning and reflecting on their practice. The different possible starting points for research investigations are recognised and valued, from individual teachers’ long-standing interests or intuitive hunches to ‘commissioned’ evaluations of pedagogic interventions; systematic planning and scheduling are then built in to the way the research is conducted.There is a commitment to disseminating and sharing the outcomes of action research through a variety of means, including:during INSET days;through the Cloud-based virtual learning environment;in detailed written report;in formal presentations to colleagues on progress as well as outcomes;in professional learning / performance management dialogues and through informal conversations. Some staff are participating actively in the wider research community through, for example, ResearchEd. Since the school became an accredited Teaching School, teachers in training are supported in undertaking well-designed research projects which have a link to the school’s ongoing research effort. Student engagement in research is a strong feature of the school and there have been a number of investigations which have recruited students as researchers.Drawing on the depth, breadth and quality of its own research engagement the school shares its knowledge and expertise with other schools, and is strongly committed to creating partnerships and networks widely. Such partnerships revolve around research-based and evaluated interventions and the school provides research training to other partner schools.  Research engagement is demonstrably being used as a powerful vehicle for professional development which in turn is having direct impact on classroom practice and students’ learning. The school’s rationale for engaging in research is to address more thoroughly and expertly the learning needs of the students. Commitment to improvement of students’ learning experiences and outcomes is shown by its investment in major research projects as well as in smaller-scale investigations into how the needs of specific groups of students can be more effectively met.(Adapted from Saunders, 2015)Note: This article is developed from the following forthcoming publication: Handscomb, G.

The framework provides a range ofsteps from undergraduate to postgraduate study. It offers schools an approach toprofessional development that is easy to understand, accessible and firmly based inclassroom practice.There are two distinct stages to the TLA Framework: Recognition and Accreditation.The former enables participants to build their confidence in practice-based researchby providing them with structured writing frames and guidance by trained TLA SchoolCoaches. While the latter, enables participants to accumulate credits which lead tocertificates and which could also be transferred and used towards further study at alater stage.For those participants wanting to build up credits, the TLA Framework offers 2 x30 credit modules at Levels 4-7 (Foundation degree level – Master’s level). The firstmodule requires the practitioner to reflect on their professional experiences whilst thesecond involves the practitioner planning, carrying out and writing up a practice-basedenquiry.The framework is flexible and allows individuals in the same school to pursuethe same, or different, enquiry projects, as relevant to their individual needs. Theframework emphasises collaborative learning and therefore encourages practitioner-to-practitioner and school-to-school connection and collaboration.50Vol 4.2School Leadership Todaywww.teachingtimes.comLeadingLearningCPD Evaluating the Professional Learning FrameworkThere have been a number of studies that have evaluated the use of ProfessionalLearning Frameworks, for example, the independent impact evaluation studyproduced by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NfER) in 2009, whichfound the following impacts as a direct result of use of the TLA framework in schools:Teachers Improvements in/changes to practiceEnhanced capacity to reflect on practiceActual professional or career development■■■Pupils Improved progress and achievementEnhanced knowledge and understandingEnhanced enjoyment, motivation and engagement in learning■■■Colleagues Improvements in/changes to practiceNew knowledge and understandingImproved access to/availability of resources■■■Schools New approaches or structures for CPDSchool development/improvementHeightened school status■■■How two schools have used Professional Learning Frameworks offered by the TLAto support whole school improvement:Case Study – Ossett Academy, WakefieldOssett Academy in Wakefield has been involved with the TLA since its very beginning and has used the TLA’sframework as a tool to support professional learning. As former Assistant Head and TLA Leader, Martin Beedleexplains:“At Ossett, staff are encouraged and supported to take advantage of the varied opportunities availableto share good practice and their professional learning and development to promote high quality learningexperiences for their students. These include whole staff training and staff meetings; curriculum and communityteam meetings; professional learning workshops; focus groups; pilot initiatives; mentoring and coaching; and alsothrough involvement in local, regional and national initiatives and networks. Colleagues are actively encouragedto lead professional learning sessions and present their developmental work, both within the school and beyond.There is an increasing emphasis on collaboration and personalisation of professional learning activities, withclear links to the performance management process.
