Reflective Educational Research (RER) provides consulting, professional learning services, and the design and implementation of empirical research and evaluation studies across the global educational sector. Founded in 2016, RER helps schools and systems leverage the latest data collection, analyses, and reporting tools to better illuminate and inform policy and practice. By centering the voices of educators, students, and leaders, we translate lived experiences into meaningful, research-based insights. Our work equips educators and decision-makers with clear, actionable findings to support positive change across classrooms, systems,and institutions.
Action-Oriented: Focuses on real school problems, where impacts can make a difference.
Data-Driven: Employs a wide range of qualitative and quantitative data.
Technology-Integrated: Leverages digital tools for data collection, analysis, and reporting, as pioneered by Damian Bebell in 1:1 laptop environments.
Systematic Inquiry: Involves cycles of questioning, observing, acting, and reflecting (like Schön's reflection-in-action/on-action).
Focus on Mission & Vision: Use school mission statements to understand and align school purpose with practice.
