EDUCATION SCOTLAND

There is a very useful website run by Education Scotland called: Knowledge and Research

Here is the Link:

https://education.gov.scot/improvement/knowledge-and-research

Here you will find research based publications, knowledge into action briefings, thought pieces and research links. You may find these a useful starting point in getting to grips with the evidence base and supporting your reflective practice.

Below you will find some examples of the publications available to you. Currently, many articles focus on how poverty affects educational attainment, and what schools and others can do to tackle this.
