evidence use in schoolsresearch engagementstaff evidence capacityprofessional dialogueschool improvement culturelocally identified problemsBook Evidence summaryAt a glance
Brown's edited practitioner volume examines how schools can engage with and generate research evidence without treating research use as a simple act of distributing findings.
Key ideas
Contributors include teachers, researchers, journalists, policy advisers, and professional-development specialists, bringing complementary and sometimes conflicting perspectives to the practical and ethical questions involved. Chapters use overviews, cases, resource boxes, and take-away messages to help time-pressed leaders assess what is relevant. The book emphasises building staff capacity to find and interpret evidence, connecting evidence with locally identified problems, creating routines for professional dialogue, and developing a culture in which claims can be questioned. It also recognises constraints such as workload, access, relevance, and organisational priorities.
Why it matters
For school leaders, the central implication is to make evidence engagement a supported collective practice with time, structures, expertise, and follow-through rather than an additional individual expectation.
