Tom Bennett

Teacher Proof (eBook, PDF)

Why research in education doesn't always mean what it claims, and what you can do about it

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Education is awash with theories about how pupils best learn and teachers best teach, most often propped up with the inevitable research that 'proves' the case in point. But what can teachers do to find the proof within the pudding, and how can this actually help them on wet Wednesday afternoon?

Drawing from recent and popular education theories and strategies, Tom highlights how much of what we think we know in schools hasn't been 'proven' in any meaningful sense at all. He inspires teachers to decide for themselves what good and bad education really is, empowering them as professionals and raising their confidence in the classroom and the staffroom alike.
