  • Tom Bennett on Evidence-Based Education [FOR TEACHERS]
    May 1 2024

    Today, we're continuing our special educator-focused mini series with a chance to step back and take stock of the rise of evidence-based practice in education.

    Our headline guest today is founder of the researchED conference series, Tom Bennett OBE, and I'm joined towards the end of the episode by a couple of other recent guests giving their perspectives on the question of how far we've come in terms of getting evidence into education, and how we might develop further in this direction.
