'Tom Bennett is the voice of the modern teacher.' - Stephen Drew,
Senior Vice-Principal, Passmores Academy, UK, featured on Channel
4's Educating Essex Do the findings from educational science ever
really improve the day-to-day practice of classroom teachers?
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 a wide range of
recent and popular education theories and strategies, Tom Bennett
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. Readers are encouraged to
question and reflect on issues such as: the most common ideas in
modern education and where these ideas were born the crisis in
research right now how research is commissioned and used by the
people who make policy in the UK and beyond the provenance of
education research: who instigates it, who writes it, and how to
spot when a claim is based on evidence and when it isn't the
different way that data can be analysed what happens to the
research conclusions once they escape the laboratory.
Controversial, erudite and yet unremittingly entertaining, Tom
includes practical suggestions for the classroom throughout. This
book will be an ally to every teacher who's been handed an
instruction on a platter and been told, 'the research proves it.'
