[Moving Teaching from Good to Great through Collaborative Learning and Evidence-informed Practice]

Professor Toby Greany: https://iris.ucl.ac.uk/iris/browse/profile?upi=TGREA44

Debates over the role of evidence in education have continued over several decades. Should education aspire to be more like medicine, with teachers and schools making evidence-based decisions aimed at improving outcomes? Or is the reality of children’s learning too messy and the contested nature of educational research too complex to apply such simple comparisons?

This lecture explored these issues, arguing that evidence can and should inform improvement efforts by schools, but that this must form part of a wider collaborative professional learning process.

Professor Greany also explored evidence and examples of how such knowledge mobilisation can be achieved and the implications for policy and leadership practice.
