This spring, a team of CSLP researchers led by Éric Dion (UQAM) launched a new podcast series that aims to take high quality research findings and make them accessible for elementary and secondary teachers in Quebec schools. The Probantes en pratique (Evidence in Practice) podcast was first conceived of at the CSLP’s Spring Retreat in May 2022 and reflects the work of not only Dion, but UQAM colleagues Patrick Charland, Stéphane Cyr and Isabelle Plante, as well as Diane Querrien (Concordia), who were assisted by the CSLP’s Systematic Review Team project manager Eugene Borokhosvki. A video announcing and explaining the series is available on YouTube.
Each of the eight episodes describes, in about ten minutes, a teaching or classroom management practice that has been shown to be effective in a rigorous study. Accompanying fact sheets enable teachers to use these practices in the classroom.
