New findings reveal an encouraging trend: teachers are becoming increasingly influenced by educational research — especially those new to the profession. Since the introduction of the Early Career Framework (ECF) in 2021, there’s been a notable rise in early career teachers reporting that their teaching is shaped by research.
But this shift shouldn’t be limited to early career professionals.
At Minds Ahead, we believe all educators and leaders should be equipped to use research to drive better outcomes in school mental health and wellbeing. That’s why our School Mental Health Specialist qualification and School Mental Health Senior Leader qualification are designed not only to upskill staff, but to embed a research-informed, whole-school approach.
We provide:
✅ Expert-led, evidence-based training
✅ Qualifications that align with national priorities
✅ Practical tools to implement what works in your context
Becoming a research-informed school isn’t a destination — it’s a mindset. Let us help you lead the way.
