Partnerships and projects

The Faculty of Education is committed to enhancing its teaching and research activity through a variety of partnerships and projects.

Partnerships

The centre has an excellent record of working in partnership with schools in the region to provide placement experience and other support to trainee teachers. There are more than 70 schools in our Secondary PGCE Partnership and 150 schools in our Primary PGCE Partnership.

We also work with children’s workforce settings including children’s centres, schools, hospitals, social work departments, voluntary organisations and social care to provide placements for students on our Children’s Inter-Professional Studies programme.

Supporting continuing professional development is an important element of the centre’s work in the region and we coordinate the Humber Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Consortium, which meets at least twice a year to share news on CPD activities and plan events. It is made up of key staff from local authorities and schools and colleges in the Humber region who are responsible for CPD and schools workforce development.

The centre has a number of fruitful research partnerships with research groups and agencies in the UK and abroad.
