IEE Conference 2013: Getting evidence-based practices to work

Getting evidence-based practices to work

The desire to make better use of research evidence in both education practice and policy making is rising to the top of the political agenda across party divides. But how can it be done more effectively and reliably? This is the central theme of the second IEE conference, aimed at policy makers, practitioners, and consultants, on Thursday 21 March and Friday 22 March at the University of York.

ResearchED 2013

researchED 2013 will be held at Dulwich College in London on Saturday 7th September 2013.

Linking evidence and practice – What works? What next?

Church House Conference Centre, Westminster

This NFER event, hosted as part of CEBE’s seminar series exploring the complex linkages between research and practice, was held on Tuesday, 28 January 2014. Chaired by Carole Willis, NFER Chief Executive, this seminar provided delegates with the opportunity to explore findings and recommendations from the recent review “Using Evidence in the Classroom: What Works and Why?”

A facilitated discussion hosted by experts from across the sector on the key messages from the NFER review covering:

What role do school networks play in effective knowledge mobilisation?

City Hall, London

What evidence is there that the growing numbers of school networks, ranging from the Specialist Schools and Academy Trust, Challenge Partners and Future Leaders to Pedagoo and TeachMeet, have real impact? The wide spread of such groups, from national bodies to grassroots organisation, indicates a frontline appetite. However, as was seen at the recent Education Select Committee session on school-to-school support, evidence of their impact remains limited.

Save the date - Institute for Effective Education Conference

The theme of the next IEE conference will be 'Delivering Evidence Across the System'.
