100% agree. It's criminal to put a lot of effort into finding out what works, but not even care about getting those things implemented and sustained in the places that need it most.

[John A. List @Econ_4_Everyone]

Receiving some phone calls on this older episode that @Freakonomics is re-airing today. This was a productive episode to do since I remain with the thought that the most important area of science we can be engaged in today is the science of scaling, or the science of using science.

This passage is one that caught my attention in light of the current atmosphere:

LIST: "I do think it’s a crisis in that if we don’t take care of it as scientists, I think everything we do can be undermined in the eyes of the policymaker and the broader public. We don’t understand how to use our own science to make better policies."

[Patrick Taylor @PaddJT]

Avoiding the voltage effect!

We partnered with the @EducEndowFoundn to scale a neuroscience-based learning game in primary schools, while maintaining its positive impact.

About 8 years ago, @siobhanleahy50 and I prepared a Quick Reference Guide for Embedding Formative Assessment. It's now out of print, so the copyright has reverted to us, and we are free to share it with anyone who wants it: https://t.co/q3SrbWDIyH (pdf).

Seeking PDRA for our UKRI project with a background in social policy evaluation. Please apply if experienced in assessing policy effectiveness with a focus on policy design/implementation @prof_m_donnelly @mattdickson__ @CeriBee @IPR_NickP @profrichharris https://t.co/xrf4naxGWO

[Patrick Taylor @PaddJT]

@tombennett71 Right yes. Was there anything in the implementation/roll out of the Hubs, or commissioning from the DfE, that made an RCT or other comparison group design impossible? Feels like such a shame to not have a good answer to the question, 'Did it work?', right?

[EEF @EducEndowFoundn]

Professional development opportunities available for secondary schools!

We're subsidising @ssat’s Embedding Formative Assessment which aims to improve pupil outcomes by embedding the use of formative assessment strategies across secondary schools.

Very proud of this research on @envisionUK 's Community Apprentice programme. Our second RCT of Envision's programmes, showing the effectiveness of their work for secondary school students (previous work showed positive effects in post-16).

In partnership with @EducEndowFoundn, we evaluated a programme supporting teenage students in the UK to design and deliver a fundraising campaign for a charity of their choice 🏫 The programme aimed to develop:

🙇‍♀️ Self-efficacy
👯‍♀️ Social confidence
🤝Teamwork skills

🌟The programmes cover a variety of stages including, early years, primary secondary.

Have a look at the programmes relevant to your setting.

Research on physician quality has parallels with that on teacher quality. Physician quality matters (in Norway, 1 sd of physician quality reduces 2-year mortality by 12 percentage points) but it is hard to pin down and not correlated with patient ratings: https://t.co/cpSCFJx3MP

[BIT @B_I_Team]

Proud to be one of these key evaluation reports released today. In our case we looked at how grow and embed a provenly impactful professional development programme for teachers.

[BIT @B_I_Team]

The @EducEndowFoundn commissioned us and @ssat to find that out. Our report, with @PaddJT
as principal investigator, is out today 👉https://t.co/LTGj0oFto1 3/3

@jonpayates Huge congratulations to the team @B_I_Team who are delivering the Grassroots programme.

[EEF @EducEndowFoundn]

🚨 Join our team!

As we expand our work to support the post-16 sector, we’re looking for a post-16 lead to manage and develop our understanding in the sector.
