Keynote Prof Clare Brooks raises important questions about the creation, interpretation & application of ‘evidence’ in education policy development #esai25
Underscores the importance of critical engagement with research & the need for diverse methods & perspectives.

@DrClareBrooks #esai25 @esai_irl
In England it is the DfE that has absolute power over the content of ITT. That’s a problematic it’s not a good curriculum. @DrClareBrooks
