This 15 minute video is available free from the Evidence-based Teacher's Toolkit. Feel free to send the link to anyone who may be interested, particularly anyone who is a teacher.
Schools and colleges may like to show it to staff during a training session to promote debate about how to improve learning.
This is brilliant! In the days of shrinking school budgets it is even more important that scarce education money is spent on the best practices. Perhaps just as important is that those teachers of good will, who are trying to truly improve their teaching, are not sold feel-good pseudoscience (multiple intelligences, learning styles, brain-based BS, etc...) by school-hustling pedagogy pimps. Even the best can become jaded after too many episodes of unrewarded emotional investment. Bravo folks!
