ICSEI / JPCC Innovation Award

The International Congress for School Effectiveness and Improvement (ICSEI) and the Journal of Professional Capital and Community (JPCC) invite applications for the ICSEI / JPCC Innovation Award. This award recognizes an outstanding contribution to the ICSEI 2024 conference that makes an innovative contribution in educational research, policy, and/or practice within the field of professional capital and community.

JPCC is an international, professionally refereed, scholarly journal, reflecting the most important ideas and evidence of the nature and impact of interactions and relationships in the education profession, especially in the school sector. This journal brings together the most influential leading thinkers and emerging scholars on professional cultures, communities and collegiality and how they all contribute to or impede the development of the professional capital in schools and school systems that enhances students' learning, wellbeing, achievement and engagement.

The winner of the ICSEI/JPCC Innovation Award will be announced at the ICSEI 2024 conference. The award will consist of a certificate and formal recognition by JPCC. Specifically, the recipient will work directly with Emerald Publishing’s marketing and design teams (supported by the JPCC publishing team) to design a bespoke and engaging output summarizing their research. This could be an animation, cartoon, infographic, or impact report. The specific output will depend on the needs and scope of the research and the best medium to communicate this.
