The School of Education has an international reputation for research, particularly in Special Educational Needs and Inclusion. The Centre for Education and Research (CeSNER) has strong partnerships with government agencies, professional associations, schools and settings on a national and international level. Our focus is on applied research and research that underpins our courses for an excellent student experience.
The University of Northampton is committed to delivering a new student experience, underpinned by a culture of entrepreneurship, research and social enterprise. In delivering this aim, we will become the first university in the UK to integrate both teaching and research activities, in all degree disciplines, with social enterprise and aim to be the UK's number one university for social enterprise by 2015.
The social enterprise theme unites work carried out in all our Schools, and many of our Departments, and builds on our existing strengths in enterprise promotion, community interaction, regional engagement, widening participation, third sector partnership, student volunteering and employability.
The school of Education has two social enterprises;
Behaviour2Learn is a website resource that exists to support the development of positive behaviour in classrooms and schools.
The Northampton Centre for Learning Behaviour (NCfLB) is involved in consultancy and development work both nationally and, principally, internationally with the focus of its activity on social and emotional aspects of learning and behaviour and the promotion of educational inclusion.
