Building Evidence Into Education Questions To Ask Before Getting Involved In Any RCT

Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) are increasingly being used, in England and beyond, to feed into the growing interest of ‘Best Practice’, ‘Building Evidence Into Education’, ‘What Works’ and ‘Knowledge Transfer’. RCTs are but one approach that can be used to help assess the efficacy and effectiveness of an intervention.

These resources are partially derived from Earl-Slater’s excellent book and will save you time and money. The resources are suitable for all staff at any type of school, school governors, parents, government, local authority, free school, and academy sponsors.
