Form RDF to PHD: Guest Lecture by Sam Broadhead, Leeds College of Art

Past RDF Participant and now PHD candidate Sam Broadhead kindly visited our Exploratory Project Residential last week to talk to our practitioner researchers.  It was wonderful to hear how practitioner research has empowered Sam to pursue her PHD and what she has learnt along her journey.  We would like to congratulate Sam on her achievements since her time with us as Research Fellow and thank her for giving her time to talk about her experience.

We have attached her PowerPoint below in case you would like to look back over what she discussed- it may prove inspiration for your own projects.  Sam has made her email available on her PowerPoint if anyone has any questions, we are sure she would be happy to answer them for you.

Welcome Exploratory maths and English Project Practitioners 2015/16!

We would like to extend a warm welcome to our Exploratory maths and English Project Practitioners who we met for the first time at the Marriott Hotel last week.  We had a fantastic first residential and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you all.


We have uploaded the residential PowerPoint and BERA Guidelines for your reference.  Over the course of the year we will continue to upload any residential materials, news, or useful reading to this site to help you work on your projects.  We hope by creating this area we will be able to create a community of research-active practitioners where the most up to date ideas, discussions and research can be shared.  We have already started uploading the research posters from last year's practitioners and would love to host yours on here once your projects have been completed.

If there is anything in particular you would like to share on the site please contact suncett@sunderland.ac.uk and one of the team can help you.

Welcome to RDF 2015/16!

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the SUNCETT/Education and Training Foundation Research Development Fellowship 15/16 and hope that you are looking forward to attending our first Residential Event on the 4th November.

The Residentials are opportunities for you to meet other practitioners in our field and share best practice. We aim to inspire a sense of community among our colleagues in the interest of working together to further research that can make substantial and long-lasting impacts upon the Further Adult and Vocational Education sector.

The SUNCETT team is dedicated to supporting you in the development and refinement of your research. At the first Residential Event you will be allocated a Research Mentor who will assist you on your journey through the programme. They will help you identify potential links and possible synergies between your project, other RDF projects and relevant research and literature.

We look forward to meeting you and hope that together we can make a real difference in identifying methods for the improvement of practice.




Programme for Residential 1 (may be subject to change) 4th-6th November 2015
