Background to CEBE
• Started in 2009
• Alliance of researchers, policy makers and practitioners interested in improving access to and use of research
• Developed through consultation and discussion
• Connecting and collaborating
Two elements….
• Initiating and incubating practical projects that improve research use and knowledge exchange.
• Sharing independent activity that is taking place around evidence-based reform (news and events),
Evidence for the Frontline
“Researchers are lost in thought,
Teachers are lost in action”
(Prof. Charles Desforges - Emeritus Professor, University of Exeter)
What problems do practitioners face?
• Difficulties accessing the research
• Difficulties processing the research
• Difficulties implementing the research
Aim of E4F
• To enable practitioners in schools and colleges to be able to use research evidence (where appropriate) in decision making and classroom practice
Connections are needed….
• Between researchers and practitioners
• Between practitioners and practitioners
