About

The Education and Training Foundation awarded a contract to ICF Consulting for a research project on English teaching and continuing professional development (CPD) in the further education and skills (FES) sector.

The study, funded by the Department for Education (DfE) grant during 2021-22, aimed to increase understanding of effective English teaching practices and explore how the Centres for Excellence in Maths (CfEM) programme could benefit English teachers.

It sought to establish broad outlines of delivery in English classrooms, identify what works well and areas for improvement, and determine priorities for CPD and approaches suited to teachers and managers.

The research focused on normal and long-term delivery of English language teaching, despite the Covid-19 pandemic's impact.

The contract value was £58,380.
