The ReNEW team use a variety of research methods, including quantitative, qualitative, and longitudinal designs to understand the interaction between person factors (e.g., motivation) and context factors (e.g., working conditions). Working with schools, teacher education programmes, ministries of education, and NGOs, we co-design and test workforce interventions that include classroom simulations, gamification, virtual reality, and AI-generated feedback. We strive to understand the roots of the most intractable problems affecting the teacher and school leader workforce and work together to develop solutions.
