1. Teachers make the worst students: so how can we become better at using the research? How can you move yourself, your department or school towards a culture of evidence based practice . @thrive_teach Martha Boyne Emily Clements Ben Wright

2. Why is evidence important? ‘there is a huge prize to be claimed by teachers…. by collecting better evidence about what works best, and establishing a culture where this evidence is used as a matter of routine, we can improve outcomes for children’. Goldacre , 2013 Integral part of many professions Used to inform policy and practice A basis to implement new ideas Bridge the gap between research and practice Research schools @thrive_teach
