Research School Network: The Big Question webinar series Using evidence to answer classroom questions

Teaching involves making hundreds of decisions every day. Many of those decisions are shaped by bigger questions about how pupils learn, what motivates them and how schools can help them succeed. Each webinar in The Big Question Series starts with one of those questions and explores what the evidence can tell us about it. Along the way, we will examine different perspectives, consider the implications for practice and reflect on what this might mean for our own classrooms.

Join Mark Miller, Director of Bradford Research School, for these free webinars. 4 – 5:15 on Teams.
