Research and Evaluation
Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy
Our Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy outlines how the Centre gathers, analyses, and uses evidence to understand the impact of our work across Scotland’s education system. It sets out our multi‑strand, mixed‑methods approach to evaluating engagement, professional learning, research activity, and outcomes for teachers and learners. The strategy reflects our commitment to an embedded culture of enquiry, partnership, and ethical practice, ensuring that evidence meaningfully supports improvement across schools, local authorities, and national partners. If you would like further information on the CfTE Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy, please contact CfTE Evaluation Programme Manager, Irene Bell. (Irene.Bell@glasgow.ac.uk).
Initial Engagement Phase: Technical Report
As part of the very early development of the Centre for Teaching Excellence (CfTE), the CfTE Research and Evaluation team had responsibility for leading an initial engagement phase with teachers and wider stakeholders in order to help set the direction and structure of the Centre as it moves forward. This report outlines the methodology and reports on findings which were then presented to the Advisory Board for their consideration in coming to agreement about the suggested priorities for the CfTE Thematic Hubs.
