Session Description

There is a long-standing tendency in education practice to look to the new. In this feature we aim to bring an evidence and research lens to practices that have long existed but where the evidence emerging suggests a more complex picture.
Shining a light on the issues with common practices that have never been truly grappled with. Using evidence, research and expert witnesses to look again at these pathways.
