The Role of Research in the Implementation of the Curriculum for Whales

We've reached the end of our fifth year of podcasting, so a huge thank you to everyone who's been along for the ride so far!

Our final episode this year was recorded in front of a live (and very quiet!) audience of PGCE primary and PGCE secondary student teachers at the Cardiff Met PGCE Research Conference 2023. The theme of the session was how we can use research to help us make the new Curriculum for Wales a success.

Our panel of experts in this episode is:

Rebecca Roach from Central South Consortium

Ceri Prosser from St Teilo's Church in Wales High School in Cardiff

Dr Kevin Smith from Cardiff University

Richard Jones from Welsh Government

Everyone on the stage has been a classroom teacher at some point during their career (and obviously Ceri still is!) and so the discussions about the place of research are firmly rooted in doing the best for the people who matter most: the pupils in our classrooms.

After a five minute presentation each, our panel took questions from the audience. Even if you're not in Wales, we hope there's plenty of useful material to take away into your own context as we approach the end of another year.

Thanks for listening, and best wishes from Emma and Tom
