How to Rehearse a Cold Call

Peps McCrea makes his third appearance on the podcast, this time to take a deep dive into how we can be more evidence-informed as teachers. We discuss his process for identifying and summarising key research finds, and then discuss some key pieces of research and their implication for the classroom. I learned so much from this one.
