I am a passionate teacher-researcher! I
want to see teachers creating their own
research base, sharing the knowledge
they create and engaging creatively with
others' including academic researchers.
I work as a research mentor - I wrote the
guidelines for the research mentors
awarded DfES Best Practice Research
Scholarships at www.teachernet.gov.uk

I am writing to find out how we can work
together to help teachers undertake
systematic enquiry in their classrooms
asking questions like How can I improve
my tutor group's learning in year 7? How
can we work together as a school to
increase our emotional intelligence so
that our pupils in Year 5 learn better ?

Do look at www.teacherresearch.net. I
came across your website when I was
working at a primary school this morning
when a teacher asked me How can we
excite children to become more aware of
the need to be physically fit ....? I really
like your site but I would like to see a
section devoted to networking teachers'
own enquiries ... I'd love to work with you!
