CS1 Certificate in Evidence-Informed Practice

Suitable for: Teachers, school leaders and others supporting teaching and teacher development (including school-based mentors and teacher educators).

The Certificate in Evidence-Informed Practice will support you to explore what it means to become evidence-informed. Throughout the unit, you’ll develop your understanding of how to find trustworthy research, critically engage with evidence, and apply research findings to improve teaching and learning.

You’ll explore key areas of educational research, including how pupils learn, curriculum, feedback and their implications for practice. You’ll also have the opportunity to engage with current educational debates before submitting an assessment response on a debate of your choice.
