Children start school eager to learn
Children lose enthusiasm when they begin to fail
Research in education can identify effective programmes and practices
Researchers are transforming education into a field driven by science
The University of York has established the Institute for Effective Education
The mission of the IEE is to find out what works and why
The IEE will make a difference
It will develop and research new approaches
It needs people to get on board
Let's make a difference
The IEE goal:
Evidence-Based Reform
Develop effective programmes for primary and secondary schools
Designed to help teachers present exciting lessons every day
Evaluate programmes and practices using rigorous experiments
Education policy and practice demand the highest quality evaluations
Educator-friendly reviews of research
The Best Evidence Encyclopaedia
Fair, scientifically valid information for educators will be just a click away
Educators need a strong evidence base to guide policy and practice
They know how to build and convey an evidence base to schools
The IEE will improve pedagogy and shape education development
Influence policy makers to use evidence in making decisions
Disseminate information to support the use of proven programmes and practices
International team of researchers, developers and reformers

Too often research doesn't influence what goes on in the classroom
The IEE will link the best research with the classroom and the policy maker
We will ensure that the successes of the IEE affect what teachers do
The winners will be the children who go to our schools
The IEE at the University of York is the perfect place ...
to do the research, development and dissemination ...
to move forward evidence-based reform in education
To see that all children receive programmes and practices supported by the strongest research
