Last chance to register for Evidence Champion training

The EEFective Kent Project is offering schools training, set up funding and support to designate their own Evidence Champion to lead on evidence-based practice in their school and ensure that all improvement work is shaped by the best available research evidence.

The Evidence Champion course will be delivered by Durrington Research School and comprise three online twilight (3:30pm to 5:30pm) training modules:

• Monday 7 March 2022 - What is an Evidence Champion? Why do schools need an Evidence Champion?
• Tuesday 22 March 2022 - What sources of evidence are available and how can we evaluate their usefulness?
• Monday 25 April 2022 - How can schools effectively mobilise the research evidence and evaluate its impact?

Following completion of the Evidence Champion training, all Evidence Champions will be invited to attend an Evidence Champion Networking Workshop in the Summer Term. The Evidence Champions will also be linked into the wider work of the KAH Research Hub and all the networking opportunities this will bring.
