Research Series

In this talk, Dr Jo Van Herwegen (Institute of Education, UCL’s faculty for Education and Society, and director of the Child Development and Learning Difficulties lab) will discuss how to evaluate what works in the classroom. At the end of this session, learners will have a better understanding of what an unbiased evaluation of what works in their classroom contains, be familiar with the different methods to evaluate what works in classrooms and their limitations in different classroom contexts and for different students with SEN. Dr Jo Van Herwegen will also introduce some of the latest findings of our meta-review of what works for students with special educational needs.
