Innovation is about developing or trying out new ways of working, tools or organisational forms. Research means systematically looking at what works, why it works and how it can be improved. By combining national figures and our own school data, schools and boards gain insight into where deficits arise. With that knowledge, they can develop targeted, sustainable solutions that match changing realities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq__question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"h5\">How can we deal with the scarcity of teaching staff?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq__answer mb-0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We strengthen the energy and ingenuity within schools by giving space to ideas from practice and linking them to research.
