This project aims to consolidate the impact of my PhD through producing publications, developing networks, formulating funding proposals, and improving my research and professional skills.The purposes of my PhD work are to identify levels of teaching quality based on the dynamic approach to school improvement (DASI) (Creemers, Kyriakides, & Antoniou, 2013), and to identify contextual factors that may be relevant to Taiwan to investigate teachers' authentic needs, and to provide tailored professional development programmes for teachers. Another purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between teaching quality, teacher background characteristics and perceptions, student background characteristics, and student achievement.To maximise the impact of my PhD research, I have designed a comprehensive communication, outreach and impact strategy that will engage a wide range of stakeholders. During the project I will submit at least two articles to influential journals, helping to establish a track record for my future career in academia. I will also give presentations at national and international conferences. Attending conferences will not only disseminate my work, but also provide the opportunity to network with academics and practitioners in similar fields or conducting related projects. In addition, I propose to deliver talks at the Cambridge Faculty of Education, Darwin College and the Cambridge Festival of Education, creating opportunities for me to meet practitioners and academics from different fields, bringing different approaches which can build into something greater and broaden my way of thinking in my field of study. As is demonstrated by a review of recent literature, DASI has been applied to reducing bullying (e.g., Kyriakides & Creemers, 2013), but this model has not been used in preventing wellbeing problems and promoting wellbeing. Since bullying is cross-related to wellbeing, it can be argued that significant positive results could be produced through the use of DASI. In the next step of my PhD, I will conduct a pilot with primary school teachers in Cambridge to adapt strategies for promoting pupil's wellbeing according to DASI. The results of this pilot will be applied in my future British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships project. I will deliver talks associated with my pilot to primary schools and the Blue Smile charity, disseminating my results and furthering their impact and encouraging future collaboration. I will also engage directly with the public during the project by participating in public events such as the Cambridge Science Festival. Social media such as blogs or magazines will be used to promote both my PhD research and the pilot to the public.Furthermore, I plan to have a meeting with Dr Michelle Jayman at the University of West London to meet other internationally leading school wellbeing research teams. Through meeting them, I will have an opportunity to network with school wellbeing experts for future collaboration. This will also provide an opportunity for me to test my ideas regarding using DASI in improving student wellbeing.I will also attend a number of quantitative and qualitative skills training courses and professional development training within the period of ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowships. These training courses will help me extend my expertise in quantitative and qualitative skills, and build the competence necessary to ensure my work has maximal impact. During the fellowship, I will also broaden my teaching and supervising experiences to prepare for my future career in academia. When the project is completed, I will collect statistics and feedback forms from all the initiatives to produce a synthesised report on the impact of my research for presentation to the ESRC. Carrying out this project will greatly enhance my capabilities and academic career prospects, particularly regarding applying for grants or obtaining a position at a top UK university

本项目旨在通过出版出版物、发展网络、制定资助方案、提高研究和专业技能来巩固我的博士学位的影响力。我的博士学位工作的目的是根据学校改进的动态方法（DASI）确定教学质量水平（Creemers，Kyriakides，& Antoniou，2013），并找出可能与台湾相关的情境因素，以调查教师的真实需求，并为教师提供量身定制的专业发展计划。本研究的另一个目的是调查教学质量，教师背景特征和看法，学生背景特征和学生成绩之间的关系。为了最大限度地发挥我的博士研究的影响，我设计了一个全面的沟通，推广和影响战略，将涉及广泛的利益相关者。在项目期间，我将向有影响力的期刊提交至少两篇文章，帮助为我未来的学术生涯建立记录。我还将在国内和国际会议上发表演讲。参加会议不仅可以传播我的工作，还可以提供与类似领域或开展相关项目的学者和从业者建立联系的机会。此外，我还计划在剑桥教育学院、达尔文学院和剑桥教育节上发表演讲，为我创造机会，结识来自不同领域的从业者和学者，带来不同的方法，这些方法可以构建更大的东西，并拓宽我在研究领域的思维方式。正如最近的文献综述所证明的那样，DASI已被应用于减少欺凌（例如，Kyriakides & Creemers，2013），但这种模式尚未用于预防福祉问题和促进福祉。由于欺凌是交叉相关的福祉，可以说，显着的积极成果可以通过使用DASI产生。在我博士学位的下一步，我将与剑桥的小学教师一起进行试点，以根据DASI调整促进学生福祉的策略。这个试点的结果将应用在我未来的英国科学院博士后奖学金项目。我将向小学和Blue Smile慈善机构提供与我的试点相关的演讲，传播我的成果，扩大其影响，并鼓励未来的合作。在项目期间，我还将通过参加剑桥科学节等公共活动直接与公众接触。博客或杂志等社交媒体将用于向公众推广我的博士研究和试点项目。此外，我计划与西伦敦大学的Michelle Jayman博士会面，以会见其他国际领先的学校福利研究团队。通过与他们会面，我将有机会与学校的健康专家建立联系，以便将来进行合作。这也将为我提供一个机会，以测试我的想法，关于使用DASI在改善学生的福祉。我也将参加一些定量和定性的技能培训课程和专业发展培训期间ESRC博士后奖学金。这些培训课程将帮助我扩展我在定量和定性技能方面的专业知识，并建立必要的能力，以确保我的工作产生最大的影响。在奖学金期间，我也将扩大我的教学和监督经验，为我未来的学术生涯做准备。当项目完成后，我将收集所有倡议的统计数据和反馈表，以制作一份关于我的研究影响的综合报告，提交给ESRC。开展这个项目将大大提高我的能力和学术职业前景，特别是在申请赠款或获得英国顶尖大学的职位方面
