Synopsis

researchED is an educator-led organisation with the goal of bridging the gap between research and practice. This accessible and punchy series, overseen by founder Tom Bennett, tackles the most important topics in education, with a range of experienced contributors exploring the latest evidence and research and how it can apply in a variety of classroom settings.
While there are many routes to growing great schools, investing in the quality of the teachers is one of the best bets to improve both pupils' educational outcomes and their experience of school. And, crucially, teacher quality is not fixed - all teachers can always improve. Professional development is not solely about the teaching techniques we use in the classroom, but encompasses the way we learn to think about the curriculum, how we manage behaviour, and even how we behave as leaders.
In this book, Jo Facer brings together contributions from expert writers including Elisabeth Bowling, Nimish Lad, Reuben Moore and Jenny Thompson, to consider what we might learn from cutting-edge research, and how we might apply this to the messy, on-the-ground reality of schools today.
