Sandringham Research School

Best Bets is the podcast from Sandringham Research School. This podcast aims to provide you with the latest education research and insights about how evidence can be used to benefit students in your school. Although education research can never tell us exactly what to do within the classroom, it can provide us with “best bets”, tried and tested approaches that the evidence suggests may lead to promising outcomes. In each episode, we will draw upon the experience of a researcher or teacher with a particular expertise in the area we are looking at.
