Education. Intelligence.
The intelligence education has always needed.
Independent, evidence-led writing on how people actually learn, and on how far schools are built around it.
The research programme
Are schools designed around what we know about the brain?
Five projects, each taking one structure a school takes for granted and asking what the evidence actually says about it. Every claim is graded, and where the evidence is thin we say so.

The EdJournal Advisory
Where intelligence becomes action
For leaders who have read the evidence and now have to decide what their own school does about it.
The State of the Evidence
The paper the programme rests on
Ten chapters, three evidence tiers, and an honest account of where the research stops short of telling anyone what to do.
