A paid research opportunity for teachers

Researchers from the School of Education at the University of Sheffield are working on a curriculum development project. In partnership with a Youth Advisory Board, they have created a series of interdisciplinary, project-based lessons that aim to promote critical thinking, digital literacy, and social justice for pupils in primary and secondary education.
