'Key findings from the massive Effective Provision of Pre-school, Primary & Secondary Education research programme are available for the first time in this accessible book. Anyone interested in improving primary education - whether in a single classroom, a school, or across an entire system - would benefit greatly from reading it.' (Dylan Wiliam Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment, UCL Institute of Education)

‘The history of education is littered with ideology, headline-grabbing here today, gone tomorrow policies and the hyped ideas of education gurus. Cutting through the fads and fashions, this book, by some of the UK’s most eminent education academics, gives us firm foundations for effective primary education.’ (From the foreword by Sir Kevan Collins Chief Executive, Education Endowment Foundation)

'Steers an accessible path through high-quality research and articulates clearly the classroom practice and behaviours that have the greatest impact.

A fascinating analysis of classroom practice and behaviour that will inform and inspire those who genuinely want to make a difference and secure the best possible educational outcomes for all children. Teachers, School Leaders, Providers of Initial Teacher Training and ongoing CPD...take note!' (Judy Shaw Headteacher and NAHT National President 2019-2020)

‘The Effective Provision of Pre-school, Primary & Secondary Education research programme was probably the most comprehensive study of pre-school, primary, and secondary schooling every undertaken in the UK, and the reports from the project over the last two decades have produced unrivalled insights into the long-term effects of effective primary schools, and what it is that these schools do differently. Now, for the first time, the key findings from this massive research programme are available in one accessible book, Teaching in Effective Primary Schools. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the EPPSE programme is the way that multiple sources of data - including sophisticated statistical techniques, data obtained from validated classroom observation procedures, and rich field notes from trained observers - are integrated to produce findings about the factors most closely associated with effective teaching in primary schools that are at the same time both rigorous and rich in detail. Anyone interested in improving primary education - whether in a single classroom, a school, or across an entire system - would benefit greatly from reading it.’ (Dylan Wiliam Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment, UCL Institute of Education)
