Dr Kate Duffy is research lead for Initial Teacher Education (ITT). This involves supporting colleagues in the School of Education (SoE) with their research activity and convening the Centre for Research in education (CRE) Public Seminar series. The series showcases the wide range of research that is undertaken by the SoE at its different stages of development. Within this role I also work with external partners such as Global SpiritEd and support the Global Research Network which is committed to exploring ways to personalise education and increase student agency.
Dr Elizabeth Hidson is research lead for the International Initial Teacher Training (IITT) team in the School of Education. She is also a Vice-Chancellor’s Research and Knowledge Exchange fellow. Her research focus is research collaboration with schools and teachers, with the goal of co-constructing evidence-informed solutions to teaching and learning priorities that schools and teachers want to focus on, and to facilitate reciprocal knowledge exchange between teachers, schools and the University.
Kate, Liz and colleagues in the School of Education work together to develop research with schools and teachers. We have agile research teams that work on our various projects.
