The EEF's pilot projects in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire were designed to improve the use of TAs in schools as well as learn about effective scale-up of research use.

Evaluation of a Dialogic Teaching intervention in primary schools

Investigating whether Realistic Maths Education methods can help Year 7 & Year 8 pupils improve their maths attainment

Evaluation for the EEF of a coaching programme to support secondary school students

Evaluation of an innovative mathematics and computing primary curriculum and professional development project

Evaluation of pilot CPD programme for early career teachers (ECTs) with the aim of improving outcomes for disadvantaged pupils

Improving pupils' language development

The TWiTCH programme is based on the principles of Dialogic Reading. Through TWiTCH training, practitioners learn how to use a clearly structured intervention that builds on familiar Early Years practice (storytime and small group work) to improve the quality and quantity of adult-child interactions. The programme aims to strengthen practice and build practitioner skills and confidence, leading to regular, high-quality interactions which will increase vocabulary and the complexity of children’s language and their ability to express opinions.

Frames for Learning (F4L) is a CPD programme for teachers and their teaching assistants (TAs) which aims to improve science attainment by scaffolding how teachers and pupils approach working scientifically and other multi staged tasks in science.

This project aims to advance our understanding of knowledge mobilisation in relation to EEF regional delivery, by evaluating the RIL active implementation support model as a means of improving evidence-informed processes and practices in schools.
