Do you have time to help with research?
As you know, Apply for teacher training is being built around the feedback and research we do with providers.
We also know that the summer months can be a busy time for providers and that many schools are preparing to shut for the summer holidays. This can make continuing our research challenging.
So if you think you or your teams will be able to participate in research this summer we’d be really keen to hear from you.
If you’re interested in taking part in research either now or over the summer, please get in touch by emailing becomingateacher@digital.education.gov.uk with either an expression of interest or an available time and date to book in a session with our user research team.
If you have any questions, feedback you’d like to share or if you’d like to opt-out of this newsletter, please email becomingateacher@digital.education.gov.uk |
