SLIDE 4
  • Define evidence-based practice
  • Reflect on the importance of EBP
  • Review what is the latest evidence upon

which to base our practice

Learning Intentions

slide-5
SLIDE 5
slide-6
SLIDE 6
  • Be able to refine our understanding of EBP
  • Consider what it means of our teaching
  • Apply the most helpful practices to our

teaching

Success Criteria

slide-7
SLIDE 7 7

The Every Student Succeeds Act, the new reauthorization of the federal program designed to support the education of disadvantaged students, requires that states and districts use evidence-based interventions to support school improvement.

Why Evidence- Based Practice?

slide-8
SLIDE 8

“…if teaching prac;ce isn’t deeply informed by a wider knowledge about educa;onal research, research based on direct

  • bserva;on of classroom ac;vity,

and the theory underpinning it, then teaching becomes a personal, rather than a professional enterprise.

Timperely 2011

Evidence?

  • utcome of scientific research,
  • rganizational facts & data,

benchmarking, best practices, collective experience, personal experience, intuition

Evidence-based education

  • perates at two levels. The first

level is to utilise existing evidence from worldwide research and literature on education and associated subjects.

The second level is to establish sound evidence where existing evidence is lacking or of a questionable, uncertain, or weak nature.

All educators base their decisions on ‘evidence’

However ...

Education is a fad-ridden profession

  • We mistake opinion for fact
  • Something written in a professional journal

may be research but often is just opinions

  • f the author
  • Theories are just that - one has to do the

research to prove or disprove a theory

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Many educators pay little

  • r no attention to the quality
  • f the evidence they base

their decisions on

SO ...

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Teach educators how to critically evaluate the validity, and generalizability of the evidence and help them find ‘the best available’ evidence

slide-20

EBP is a means to improve decision quality.

Evidence-based standards for effective teaching?

  • Evidence about relationships between teacher skills,

knowledge & behaviours and ‘effectiveness’

  • Evidence about what can be changed (and how)
  • Based on ‘best’ theories of

– Pupil learning – Pedagogy & teaching effectiveness – Behaviour change (individual, institutional, systemic)

  • Most important: does focusing on these things

lead to improvement?

SLIDE 26

How might we move forward?

  • Review the best existing evidence about what excellent

teaching looks like

  • Review existing frameworks / protocols / evaluation

instruments for identifying excellent teaching

  • Develop/collect some self-assessment + feedback +

discussion tools to allow teachers to assess and develop their skills/knowledge/practice in a range of dimensions

  • Evaluate the impact (on a range of valued outcomes) of

using them

Dimensions of great teaching

  • 1. (Pedagogical) content knowledge
  • 2. Behaviour / control / classroom management
  • 3. Classroom climate / relationships /

expectations

  • 4. Quality of instruction
  • 5. Wider professional elements: collegiality,

development, relationships

  • 6. Research knowledge

How research might help

  • Research knowledge

– Informs pedagogical practice – Informs decisions about strategy and policies – Informs attempts to implement and embed more effective practices

  • Research mindset

– Robustly evaluates ongoing performance on a range of

  • utcomes

– Evaluates the impact of any changes made – Adopts a critical perspective: ‘show me the evidence’

What we need to do

  • Encourage our teachers to use curriculum

and instruction that have evidence to support their use

  • Discourage teachers from picking and

choosing based on their personal preference

  • Grossen, “To be a profession is to have a

professional-knowledge base comprised of shared procedures that work.”
