Research and practice

We are actively engaged in research projects covering a range of areas in the field of international schooling . We conduct both theoretical and empirical research and are interested in the nexus between research and practice, including  practitioner involvement in research. We seek to support teachers and other educators in planning, conducting and disseminating their own research. 

This section is a growing repository of projects  conducted in collaboration with  the international school community in Hong Kong and beyond.
