What is Evidence-based teaching all about?

Agriculture, medicine and industry all use evidence-based methods which are decided by what works best in experiments rather than custom and practice, or merely tradition. Teaching is becoming this way too: we now know which teaching methods are consistently reliable and effective in the classroom.

What is in the pack?

This DVD covers ten of the most effective teaching methods as identified by thousands of experiments conducted worldwide. The video is presented by Mike Bell, with many methods explained by Geoff Petty, author of Evidence-Based Teaching.

Each method is explained and then, in most cases, you see the method in use in real classrooms by ordinary teachers (filmed by Mediamerge’s “Classroom Observation” specialists).

This pack also contains a CD with a printable booklet of supporting material for the DVD.  It includes links to books, websites and training sessions related to Evidence-Based Teaching.
