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

So what?

1.Starting salary matters for recruitment. This complements evidence on importance of pay for retention.

2. Recruitment campaigns should emphasise extrinsic rewards, alongside meaningful aspects. Great 2015 example here - watch to the end!

@SteveTeachPhys @MrElliotHahn Hi Steven. Yes, I agree that the lack of precision for many of these evaluations jumps out of this graph. But I also thinks it provides useful evidence about a few TA-led interventions that are more likely to benefit pupils.

Thanks very much to everyone who got in touch on this. We have now found somebody.

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!

My friend Natasha Raheem @Dixons_OS is writing an important book about schools that support student and teacher belonging. She is looking for case studies of schools doing great work in this area. If you know of good examples, please DM me. Thanks!
