From large-scale to small-scale studies, from the quirky to the iconic, the audiobook breaks down complicated research to provide teachers with the need-to-know facts and implications of each study. Each overview asks key questions, describes related research, and considers implications for practice.

A hugely accessible resource, this unique audiobook will support, inspire, and inform teaching staff, parents, students, and those involved in leadership and CPD.
