Course introduction
At the Chartered College of Teaching, we’re celebrating the knowledge and expertise of our teaching profession.
Our Certificate in Evidence-Informed Practice is an online learning programme designed to begin your journey towards becoming Chartered and recognise your expertise in evidence-informed practice.
There are three parts to the learning on this programme. In the first, you’ll learn how to critically engage with research evidence including cognitive bias, myths, misconceptions and critical evaluation.
In the second, you’ll explore some key areas of research evidence to inform your practice. We’ll cover areas of evidence-based pedagogy such as how pupils learn and think as well as some whole-school approaches such as curriculum.
And in the third and final part of the programme, you’ll have the opportunity to choose from three debate topics, learning from an expert presentation and a wider reading list before choosing to write and submit an assessment for grading and credits towards
Chartered Status.
We look forward to you starting your Chartered journey with us online soon.
