University Practice Partnerships: Sustaining collaboration across learning environments (UPPScale) are a group of settings with which the Institute work most closely to collaborate on promoting research, developing pedagogy and enhancing learners’ experience.
The UPPScale group includes a variety of education settings such as alternative, special education and mainstream education and we actively promote a diverse range to match our research expertise and student interests.
Ideas and resources from University of Plymouth staff, students and UPPScale partners. We hope they inspire you.
We’d love to know what you think of these resources.
You can contact the UPPScale team by emailing uppscale@plymouth.ac.uk.
We conduct research with a variety of partners, such as nurseries,
schools, colleges, universities, charities, and arts and leisure organisations, in a range of contexts. These include the
home, work, nature, arts and the
community. UPPScale
has four main strands: Research Partnerships for collaborative projects; Placement
Partnerships for initial teacher education and professional development;
Student Partnerships featuring student-led research and community projects; and
Future Partnerships for developing ideas, funding bids or opportunities.
UPPScale was developed by a steering group
alongside Associate Professor Jan
Georgeson and Senior Research Fellow Rowena
Passy. They lead the UPPScale team in offering support in planning and
implementing research projects. If you
are interested in any of these types of collaboration, please email uppscale@plymouth.ac.uk.
We have a wide range of experts across disciplines. Find out more about them on our blogs:
Many UPPScale projects are connected with PIoE research:
