need for the profession to have access to more high-quality
research and evidence to do their job more effectively. But every
year thousands of research papers are published, some of which
contradict each other. How can busy teachers know which research is
worth investing time in reading and understanding? And how easily
is that academic research translated into excellent practice in the
classroom In this thorough, enlightening and comprehensive book,
Carl Hendrick and Robin Macpherson ask 18 of today's leading
educational thinkers to distill the most up-to-date research into
effective classroom practice in 10 of the most important areas of
teaching.The result is a fascinating manual that will benefit every
single teacher in every single school, in all four corners of the
globe.
