Description

Supporting and Retaining Gender and Sexuality Diverse Early Career Teachers. This project aims to understand and influence factors affecting the retention of gender and sexuality diverse (GSD) beginning teachers. Using an innovative, multi-method approach, with integrated stakeholder participation, this research will generate powerful new knowledge about the experiences of beginning and early career GSD teachers through a national survey and deep, longitudinal connection with a small cohort recruited during initial teacher education. Impactful project outcomes include a research-informed film aiding teacher retention and a data-driven online network supporting GSD teachers’ community building. This will provide significant wider benefits for the retention of minoritised teachers, with social and economic impact.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3904 - Specialist Studies In Education.
