The NIoT Evidence Portal

What is the NIoT Evidence Portal?

The NIoT Evidence Portal is a new resource for teachers and leaders involved in the training and development of others. It brings together rigorous, high-quality research and expert perspectives from schools and trusts. It’s designed to help teacher educators make confident, evidence-informed decisions about how they develop teaching and leadership practice.

Through the Portal, you can explore research that has been distilled into practical insights and tools to support your work. It currently includes two key features: the NIoT Evidence Toolkit, which summarises what the research says about professional learning approaches, and the ‘Your Questions’ page, which answers real queries from across the sector using relevant research. Together, they provide a trusted, easy-to-navigate space where research meets professional learning practice.

As the Portal develops, more resources will be added, including new interactive features and opportunities to share sector expertise, so that it continues to evolve in response to the priorities of schools, trusts, leaders of professional development and teachers.
