Growing Evidence Informed Practice brings together teachers and leaders across all career stages to learn, develop, and grow their understanding of using evidence, assessment and data.

All students learn, progress, achieve and thrive through high quality evidence informed teaching practice.  High quality teaching is underpinned and strengthened by practitioners who have a deep knowledge, understanding and skills in using evidence, assessment and data and who confidently lead evidence informed practice in their own contexts.

Growing Evidence Informed Practice brings together a range of activities in support of educators.
