How Can Schools Use Evidence To Improve Teaching?

Steve Higgins sets out how the Education Endowment Foundation’s Teaching and Learning Toolkit can help make evidence school friendly so that it can be readily used to improve practice.

Making evidence accessible, accurate and actionable

This article provides an overview of the Toolkit the Education Endowment Foundation’s (EEF) Teaching and Learning Toolkit and summarises what I see as the potential contribution it makes to research-informed teaching and to professional development and learning in schools. It focuses on the challenges of making evidence both accessible and accurate as well as in a way that is sufficiently actionable to ensure improvement. Publishing summaries of evidence doesn’t automatically translate into schools improving their teaching practices. Sometimes people misinterpret what you intended.

Eventually the war ends, and the community can return to their homes. Although fearful of what they might find, to their joy they discover that through all the time they were gone, Zara’s garden continued to grow. With their love and care they are able to bring the garden and their city back to life. The message of the book is really powerful and will give children hope that even in the darkest of times, things can get better – a message that is very appropriate today. It is also perfect to help children develop empathy and understanding for those children experiencing living in a war or having to leave their homes. The illustrations work in great harmony with the text and their visual depiction of children and a community experiencing war is very moving. Design, layout, text and illustrations combine to provide an outstanding book, one that opens up many opportunities for conversations with children and one that deserves a wide audience.For ages 5+Annie Everall OBEDirector, Authors Aloud UK, www.authorsalouduk.co.uk@authorsalouduk @read4eva"

This can help with research, planning, outlining, and so on.ClaroRead users also have access to Claro Software’s mobile apps, helping them to read and write on their iPhones, iPads, and Android devices.Many users have found that ClaroRead makes them more comfortable with reading and writing. They are in control and can become more independent. Eventually, their difficulties stop being a barrier and they can actually enjoy learning.ClaroRead examplesBelow are just a few of the ways that ClaroRead can help students with reading and writing:Reading Word or PDF handoutsIf a teacher or lecturer issues handouts, notes or assignments in Word or PDF format, students can simply open them in Word or Acrobat Reader and click ClaroRead’s Play button to read them out. ClaroRead’s word-by-word highlighting helps students to focus on each word as it is read out, minimising visual distractions.With ClaroRead, students can read at the same speed as everyone else in the classroom.Annotating PDF handoutsStudents can use ClaroPDF (a cross-platform PDF reader included with ClaroRead) to add highlighting and simple annotations to their PDFs. Great for working with PDF handouts, where it can also be used to write and submit answers without switching between multiple applications.Making sure text is written correctlyClaroRead’s advanced spelling checker and word prediction help students to write essays without typos or other spelling mistakes. The spelling checker will identify all homophones in case the wrong one has been used. It can also make writing richer by supplying synonyms and dictionary definitions, all of which can be read aloud.Reading text using mobile devicesClaro’s mobile apps can read out text wherever you are. With Claro ScanPen, for example, student can use a smartphone or tablet to take a photo of any text, then highlight it with their finger and have it read out. It even works offline, so can be used in exams.Helping with examsTests and exams are huge barriers to students with difficulties reading and writing. From understanding the questions to writing down answers, exams are extremely stressful.ClaroRead (or ClaroRead SE, which doesn’t include any writing aids), ClaroPDF, and Claro ScanPen can all be used in exams.As students can use these tools with headphones, they can sit exams in the same room as their peers, rather than having to be in a separate room with a human reader.Formerly a primary school teacher for 19 years, Mary Wilcox is a Product Evangelist at Claro Software."
