Why is research so important to teacher practice?
Reflexive practice helps to grow a practitioner’s response to their own teaching so that it is always evolving and doesn’t stagnate. So we can all inquire into our own work using a research framework and research questions.

How is your research affecting your practice?
Currently, I am a Head Teacher Creative Arts. One thing [my research] has done for me is, looking at excellence in the arts, is that it has shown the benefit of teachers being artists ourselves.
