Description

Expressions of interest are sought for a contractor to carry out qualitative research with teachers and school leaders to understand how teachers find curriculum resources, how they judge the quality of resources and decide which to use, and what barriers they face in finding and accessing resources. This research is part of a wider programme of work to understand current practice and identify unmet needs in the provision and dissemination of curriculum resources.

Bids should include a clear plan of proposed sampling, recruitment, and research methodology, provide evidence of experience in the research area, include indicative costs, and state clearly how the above aims will be achieved. Applications will be assessed and prioritised according to the extent to which they meet the assessment criteria described in the Expression of Interest Advert attached below.
Deadline for EOIs is 5pm, Friday 8th December 2017.
