“Educational research can never lead practice—great teaching is produced by teacher creativity—but what the research can do is to identify some avenues as more fruitful than others, and also make sense of the practice of effective teachers, in particular by identifying which aspects of practice are likely to be essential to success, and which are idiosyncrasies of individual teachers.”
