Call for applications
ATD Teacher-Researcher Fellowships Scheme

Deadline: June 1, 2022

The Academy of Theatre and Dance is pleased to invite applications from teachers to its new ATD Teacher-Researcher Fellowships Scheme. Through the scheme, the Academy will award 2 x Teacher-Researcher Fellowships which will pay for 2 teacher-researchers to conduct a research project directly connected to arts education at the ATDfor 1 day a week over 1 year from September 2022 – September 2023. Fellows will also receive supervision and mentoring from the Lectorate.

Research is fundamental to the quality of our education. This scheme aims to provide teacher-researchers with time, support and structure to conduct research that will have a direct impact on educational innovation, ensuring that the programmes of the ATD remain at the cutting edge of theory and practice.

Fellowship projects must plan to deliver a clear output/s – outlined in the application form – to ensure that the knowledge produced is transferred into education and the results of the research are effectively shared with others (teachers, students, professionals from the field, wider publics). Output/s must be appropriate to the questions and methods of the research – eg. workshops, new teaching method, curriculum design, performance, film, installation, publication etc.The transfer of research could involve testing a new course, improving an existing course or using the research as teaching material etc.

The ATD Teacher-Researcher Fellowships Scheme is open to applications from all current teachers at the ATD including Artistic Leaders and tutors/coaches from either Bachelors, Masters or 3rd cycle programs.
