The Teacher's Resource Depot

What is it all about? Agriculture, medicine and industry all use evidence-based methods that are decided by what works best in experiments rather than custom and practice, or merely tradition. Teaching is becoming this way too, and we now know what teaching methods are consistantly reliable and effective in the classroom. These methods have been tested through rigorous control group studies with real teachers in real schools and colleges. Supported by over half a million experiments conducted worldwide, the evidence shows that these teaching methods, if used correctly and consistanly, WILL improve the grades of the learners. In fact, each method has been shown to raise pass rates by 20% to 30%! The Evidence-Based Teaching web site looks at some of the leading texts, videos and training sessions available on this exciting and progressive subject. NEW DVD AVAILABLE: Evidence-Based Teaching – The Top Ten Methods Mediamerge have worked with Mike Bell, an experienced teacher who uses evidence based teaching methods in his own classroom as well as leading training days on the subject, and Geoff Petty, author of Evidence Based Teaching – A practical approach to create a DVD about the top ten most effective teaching methods. Mike Bell and Geoff Petty explain the methods, and there are over 20 clips showing the methods being used by ordinary teachers in real classrooms filmed by Mediamerge’s “Classroom Observation” division.
