Evidence for teachers
This is a core text for any teacher who wants to improve the learning of their studentsTeachers need evidence about 'what works' in education to guide us through the minefield of ideas, books, fads and government diktat. Two major studies have been done: this one, under Marzano in Colorado, USA and a much larger one by Hattie, in Auckland, New Zealand.While Hattie’s work is more comprehensive, the Colorado team have created something more useful: nine methods to use in the classroom which have been shown to work better than others.In running staff training for teachers in the UK I refer to this book as the authors give practical examples of how to apply the methods in a variety of classrooms.This second edition has taken the sensible step of changing the order from one ranked on effectiveness, to one ranked in the order in which you might use them in a topic.The 'Evidence-Based Teachers Network' (ebtn.org.uk), which links teachers who want to use evidence-based methods and policies in their classrooms and schools, recommends the use of these ten methods.In my own work, I have been able to show why these methods are so effective using jargon-free, brain-based explanations checked with neuroscientists. This is published as a simple e-book: 'How Brain Learn' (available on Amazon).Mike Bell, Education Evidence
