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. For links to the resources discussed in the episode and videos of our conversation please visit the episode show-notes page here: https://www.mrbartonmaths.com/blog/how-to-be-more-evidence-informed-with-peps-mcrea/
