In the ‘Access EEF Funded Projects’ brochure1 three potential benefits are listed.
“Receive promising approaches in your setting at a heavily reduced cost:
We fund most of the costs of the programme, but we may ask you to contribute a small amount towards the programme you are receiving. If you are assigned to a control group, you will receive a payment for taking part in evaluation activities.
Access professional development for your staff:
Most of our programmes involve high quality professional development and support resources, so taking part can support the ongoing improvement of your staff and your setting.
Contribute to the evidence base and support your colleagues to improve teaching and learning:Over half of all schools and settings in England have taken part in an EEF trial. Every one of them has made a valuable and long-term contribution to the education evidence base by supporting the profession to improve teaching and learning through better use of evidence.”
