Bradford Research School Seeks Evidence Advocates

New initiative aims to enhance evidence-informed practice in local schools

Bradford Research School has announced a recruitment drive for Evidence Advocates, aiming to establish a cross-phase network of education practitioners committed to the thoughtful use of research evidence in their schools and settings.

Role of Evidence Advocates

Evidence Advocates will play a key role in promoting and strengthening evidence-informed practice across Bradford’s educational community. These practitioners will be involved in:

• Using research evidence thoughtfully within their own educational settings
• Supporting colleagues to understand and apply evidence-based approaches
• Contributing to a local network that shares best practices and resources

Building a Collaborative Network

The initiative seeks to create a collaborative environment where educators from various phases of schooling can work together to improve teaching and learning outcomes through research-informed strategies. This network is intended to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and support among practitioners.

How to Get Involved

Practitioners interested in becoming Evidence Advocates are encouraged to consider how they currently use research evidence and their willingness to support others in doing the same. Further details about the recruitment process and the role can be found on the Bradford Schools Online website.

This development reflects ongoing efforts to embed research evidence into educational practice within Bradford, aiming to enhance decision-making and improve outcomes for pupils across the district.
