Calls for research-informed improvement are everywhere in education, but what does it mean to use research well? What does it look like in practice, and how can it be supported in schools?
This session from researchers and educators involved in the Monash Q Project in Australia will explore how to model, support and involve others in using research well. It will share examples and insights from Q partner schools, as well as project tools and resources.
