Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: end of term pragmatics. As schools close for the holidays don't compare yourselves with others or put pressure on the what ifs. What you've got done (even if thats nothing) is fine by me. You can move on in 2026 /1🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

In Scotland there is too little support for those supporting the professional learning of teachers, this is one of the exceptions.

As my teaching career draws to a close, I look back and see that my participation in the PG Cert in Supporting Teacher Learning was one of the very best professional moves I ever made. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: be kind to self. Enquiry rarely goes to plan. Those that say it was all neat and perfect with no hiccups are often playing loose with the truth and retrofitting a narrative that they think is expected by others./1🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: permission to turn down the volume. Sometimes life/ work is complicated and very full. A curve ball puts you at capacity. This means there is little space for practitioner enquiry, and that is OK. /1🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: sustaining an enquiry community. A really useful question from @MrsKRGray (Twitter/X) Its difficult to start a community, but harder to keep it going, what can help that continuous process and make it a part of 'normal'? /1🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: How to start a practitioner enquiry community. A good question from the Strath IntoHeadship alumni group. What do you do if practitioner enquiry is not foregrounded in your setting, how do you get started? /1🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: Leading for and through enquiry. School leaders can make or break enquiry communities in regard the support and space offered to enquirers they work with, and in regard how model our own processes of finding out/1🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

And the sun sets on another #StrathEdD MELS day. Lots of interesting chat about being active in the reading and writing process and input into what makes good systematic review questions. Lovely to see some of last year’s cohort sharing their experiences 👏👏 @strath-ioe.bsky.social

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: back to it! Holidays might be a distant memory, but back to the classroom means back to thinking about enquiry. They should go hand in hand. The new term will bring new questions but stubborn ones will remain/1🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: line of enquiry. The questioning you've been pondering is important as it is the hook on which the line of your enquiry hangs. It will give clues of sample, the method etc. it will also indicate where the gaps are/1🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW #EducationalResearch

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: no prizes for size. There's a temptation in research to think big is better - big samples over a long time with lots of data sources - but this isn't what quality derives from. Rather focus on targeting need/1🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW #EducationalResearch

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: to guide or not to guide. As a leader of enquiry communities and a coach to many teachers engaged in enquiry, I constantly grapple with how much guidance to give. Should I be telling teachers what to do?/1 🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Second induction for the #StrathEdD today (part timers today, full timers last Thursday). Lovely to start conversations about the entanglement of theory and practice @StrathEDU

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: the elusive question. Some of you will be feeling the pressure. It feels like everyone else is all sorted with amazing questions. You're still undecided between 2 or 3, or don't have an inkling. Don't panic! /1 🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW #EducationalResearch

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: what kind of question? Questions fall into two broad categories: what happens if (I do that new thing) and what happens when (we do that activity). You can ask the question you want but be aware of difference/1 🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW #EducationalResearch

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: learner need. It's a relatively robust finding in prof dev field that if CLPL address teacher perceptions of learner need then it'll be more impactful.
