We’re thrilled to announce that our first #EMATter staff have begin their Master’s degree studies, supported by EMAT.
The six #EMATters are embarking upon their fully-funded Master’s degrees thanks to a unique partnership with the University of Northampton. The fees are being fully funded by EMAT.
The students’ research topics are all related to their school or the wider trust, and will therefore benefit our community of schools.
One of the Master’s degree students is Casey Logue, a teacher at Prince William School in Oundle. She said: “This opportunity means a lot to me from both a professional and personal point of view. As teachers, I think it’s vital we remain learners along with our students.
“My hopes are to research and ruminate on the core elements of what we do when we teach, ultimately making me a more thoughtful, rounded and empathetic practitioner.”
The partnership with the University of Northampton also includes the opportunity for the trust and its schools and staff to be part of ground-breaking research projects led by the university and the sharing of best practice.
Zoe McIntyre, EMAT Lead for Teaching, Learning and Training, said: “Investing in our staff is one of our highest priorities here at EMAT and I’m thrilled to see our six learners getting underway with their funded Master’s degrees.
“This programme with the University of Northampton will not only provide our staff with a fantastic professional development opportunity but will also deliver benefits for the schools they work within and our wider trust. I wish them the very best of luck with their studies.”
