Research, evaluation and systemic work
Educational Psychologists (EPs) are applied psychologists and are trained and experienced in a range of research and evaluation methods. Schools/colleges may wish to make use of these skills in order to support them in measuring the impact of their practice or a specific intervention. Projects will be tailored to the needs of the setting.
Previous pieces of research and evaluation work undertaken have included:
- Supporting schools to develop bespoke Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision
- Evaluating provision to promote positive peer relationships in schools
- Evaluating systemic project work promoting parental/carer engagement with school
- Evaluating the impact of the Prevention and Inclusion Social Work project
- Evaluating the impact of nurture groups
- Evaluating the impact of coaching and supervision on pupils and staff
