How to build resilient schools: place-based approaches to supporting teachers and leaders

In this webinar, Toby Greany and Steph Ainsworth will discuss their research into developing place-based approaches to school leadership development and tools that schools can use to improve teacher resilience and retention. An opportunity to reflect on the implications of their emerging findings for education policy and practice will follow, in conversation with Qing Gu, Professor of Leadership in Education at UCL; Stephen Betts, Chief Executive of Learn Sheffield and Mary Lowery Head of School Improvement (Post-primary and Special Education, Locality East), Education Authority Northern Ireland.

This is part of the What Matters in Education? Panel Discussion Series, jointly organised by the UCL Institute of Education Pro-Director Research and the ESRC Education Research Programme (ERP). It aims to spark new thinking across education, social research and the wider social sciences on how research, policy and practice can most productively interact.

Events will be online. Recordings and a summary of the key questions the debate raised will be made available on the ERP website afterwards.
