Impact is the award-winning, termly journal from the Chartered College of Teaching. It connects research findings to classroom practice, with a focus on the interests and voices of teachers and educators. It supports the teaching community by promoting discussion around evidence use in the classroom, and enabling teachers to share and reflect on their own use of research.
Each peer-reviewed issue is themed around a critical topic for practitioners, with a guest editor who is a specialist in the field. Issues feature a wide range of original research articles and expert perspectives from teachers, schools leaders and academics. Impact is produced in print and online, with extra features available online.
Themes are responsive to the interests of the sector, and we regularly invite our editorial board, members and authors to suggest topics that they would like to see in future issues. In order to keep issues varied and relevant, we aim to rotate three overarching themes throughout the year:
- pedagogy (science of learning, educational psychology, memory, assessment)
- school and classroom culture (leadership, CPD, wellbeing, professionalism, behaviour)
- learning design (curriculum, planning and delivery, feedback, enrichment).
