IntroductionThis website shows how teachers in schools can initiate and sustain educational
research within their everyday work in their classroom. Teachers as researchers
are often supported by a process of 'research mentoring' (Fletcher, 2005)
integrating mentoring into action enquiry. Teachers and research mentors
are 'experts' whose skills, values and understandings complement and enrich
one another's practice. These are the website's main areas:

This week's e-seminar is being convened by Michael Gasper and focuses on Mentoring for Children's Centres. The Government in the UK has developed an agenda for change in Early Childhood Education and Care which will require increased partnership working between professional, private and voluntary agencies, children, parents, families and local communities. In England these will be based on children\'s centres and extended schools. This e-seminar seeks to identify key issues which need to be addressed in order for successful, sustainable partnership working to develop, and to reflect on the implications for practice. Michael Gasper is currently an independent consultant and facilitator in Early Years, specialising in multi-agency working. Over the last three years I have been working as a mentor, tutor and assessor on the National Professional Qualification for Integrated Centre leadership (NPQICL) professional development programme for cohorts at Birmingham City University, Warwick, Wolverhampton and Worcester Universities, organised by the National College for School Leadership (NCSL) and an assessor for Quality Assurance for the Effective Early Learning (EEL) programme.
