Stimulating teachers to conduct small scale experiments for school development

---

Descrição

You can stimulate teachers using the evidence from research to design and perform small scale experiments. If teachers get the opportunity to discover what is working in their own situation and are also invited to figure out why it works, it can become part of their professional knowledge and instructional repertoire and therefore it leads to sustainable educational improvement. 

Teachers can learn by experimenting, especially if they do this together. This resource is designed to support School Leaders in harnessing the professional experience, inquisition and research skills of the school teachers to help support sustainable educational improvement.
