The Research in Action Conference is unique to our PGCE courses and provides Warwick teachers an opportunity to explore how research informs practice in schools and the ways in which teachers are active in researching their own profession. You will hear from a variety of presenters, ranging from Warwick staff and teachers from our local schools, to professional researchers from external organisations and academics at other universities. The conference is an opportunity for you to get a feel for how educational research can impact you, your school and your pupils. You will also get a sense of how being research-engaged can enhance your professional development and explore ways in which you might engage in research as a practicing teacher.

There is a full programme of speakers throughout the day and you can customise your conference experience by choosing which sessions to attend. The conference provides a unique opportunity to explore and engage with research activity in and with schools rather than simply be told how it should inform your practice. There should be something here for everyone to stretch your intellectual curiosity about learning and teaching in schools and we really hope you enjoy the day!
