IEE Annual Reports

 

 

About the IEE

All children should have the opportunity to succeed in school. Unfortunately many fail to reach their potential, and this is particularly true of children from underprivileged backgrounds. Our aim is to improve education for all children, by promoting the use of evidence in education policy and practice.

Research and programme development

We develop and evaluate programmes and practices for early childhood, primary, and secondary education, focusing in particular on literacy, numeracy, and science.

We conduct scientifically rigorous evaluations of programmes and practices, and conduct systematic reviews. We also develop innovative new approaches for the classroom, based on evidence of 'what works'.

Sharing knowledge

We want to give practitioners and policy makers easier access to research findings. Our magazine, Better: Evidence-based Education features the latest developments in education research. You can also visit our Best Evidence Encyclopaedia website, which shows the strength of evidence supporting different educational programmes.

We are working with organisations across the education system to share knowledge and build support for evidence-based education. This includes working with schools, local authorities, researchers, policy makers, think tanks, and politicians. The IEE has led the development of the Coalition for Evidence-based Education which has brought together many of these stakeholders.

Executive Group

An Executive Group provides support and guidance to the IEE. The Group comprises members from the University of York and the Bowland Charitable Trust. It is chaired by Baroness Estelle Morris. The Group is supported by a range of advisory groups, which are currently under development, and which bring stakeholder input from policy and practice.

The Bowland Charitable Trust

The IEE was established with a grant from the Bowland Charitable Trust. The Trust also made a generous donation to the construction of the Berrick Saul Building, in which the IEE is housed.
