What Works?

The book "What Works?" by authors Lee Elliot Major and Steve Higgins offers a comprehensive analysis of evidence-based approaches in education. It is an essential resource for teachers who want to engage with the most effective methods for improving learning in primary and secondary schools. Based on the findings of the Sutton Trust-EEF Teaching and Learning Toolkit, the book summarizes research results and provides practical strategies to promote student progress. The authors highlight common teaching approaches such as raising expectations, behavior improvement, outdoor learning, and parental involvement. The information is presented clearly and concisely, allowing teachers to implement actionable steps to enhance their practice immediately. "What Works?" is therefore a valuable tool for anyone looking to ground their teaching methods in solid evidence.
