New research with Clare Routledge

Funded by @GatsbyEd

We asked 2000 UK/US undergrads to choose between pairs of hypothetical jobs to understand how more of them could be tempted into teaching

Do you like the kind of research that we do at @CEPEO_UCL? 📈

Want to learn more about education policy and analysis? 🏫

Then why not come and do our new MSc this September? 🧑‍🎓

Be warned - the module on teachers and teaching will be taught by me!

Hi X 👋🏻

Is there anyone out there who a) knows how to write basic C++ scripts and b) interested in joining a research project looking at behaviour/attention in the classroom? ~2 of work in total. You would be a coauthor on paper.

Please do get in touch!

Primary educators 👋🏻

I am interviewing teachers for a research project aimed at understanding how teachers learn from each other in the workplace. But my sample is currently very secondary heavy…

Could you (please!) spare me an hour of your time this week or next? Thanks!
