Research School Network: NEWLY UPDATED – EEF TEACHING AND LEARNING TOOLKIT The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has launched the newly updated Teaching and Learning Toolkit.

The Toolkit is designed to support teachers and school leaders who are making decisions about how to improve learning outcomes, particularly for disadvantaged children and young people.

It does not make definitive claims as to what will work to improve outcomes in a given school. Rather it provides high quality information about what is likely to be beneficial based on existing evidence. The Toolkit also signposts specific guidance reports, tools and programmes which can provide further support in making meaningful changes in schools.

This latest version makes it easier for schools to look at evidence that’s directly applicable to their context, featuring an implementation section within each strand. This aims to support school leaders when making changes to practice in schools by offering guidance about the practical realities of introducing an approach – focusing not just on what to implement, but on how to put those new approaches into practice.

To ensure the focus remains on the most disadvantaged, there is also a section which specifies the most significant points to consider in relation to closing the attainment gap between children from disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers.

The Teaching and Learning Toolkit is a constantly evolving resource and the EEF will continue to add to it to make sure the best available evidence is accessible to schools in an easily digestible format.
