New research map


An interactive research map that makes it easier for members to access research that counts towards their professional development has been launched by the Society for Education and Training (SET). The Professional Standards


Research Map gives members easy access to research, resources and further reading relating directly to the 2014 Professional Standards for Teachers and Trainers. The map, which resembles

a London Underground map, has 20 ‘stations’ on it, each corresponding to one of the 20 professional standards. By clicking on a ‘station’, members are taken to a page where they can access a range of articles, research and case studies relating to the standard in question. There is a handy ‘How to use the map’ link, which draws upon


4 ISSUE 27 • SPRING 2017 INTUITION


the 2014 report, What makes great teaching?, by the University of Durham and the Sutton Trust. Patricia Odell, head of QTLS, at the Education and Training Foundation, said: “We know that teachers are very busy people and that they may not always know where to look for professional reading. “This map, developed with


Curee (the Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education), means that people


haven’t got to hunt around for resources. We will continue to add resources.” The new map is aimed at all members, but it will be of particular use to those working towards Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status. The revised QTLS process is


now far more developmental, requiring members to undertake professional reading and to demonstrate how that research has impacted on their practice. As a result, the standard of


the workbooks produced by those registered for QTLS has continued to rise.


SET is now commending those, who in the eyes of SET reviewers and lead moderators, produced QTLS workbooks of an exceptional standard in terms of demonstrating high levels of critical reflection that had clearly led to improvements in their practice, with their evidence explicitly referenced to the professional standards. The latest commendations are awarded to the following candidates, who


submitted in October 2016: Michelle Cook, Percy Hedley School; Graham Hall, St Peter’s Academy; Kelly Johnson Jones, Stockton Sixth Form College; Dee Mackenzie-Eley, Kendal College; Zaineb Nurji, Brampton Manor Academy; Jill Overbury, and Jyoti Prabhakar, CATS College. Further commended participants will feature in future editions of inTuition, inTuition Extra and appear on the SET website.
