A good selection of reading material here from Professor Coe at the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring in Durham. Much of it is freely available online.
His starting point is that when he gives talks he is always surprised by education is in such contrast to other professions such as medicine where a knowledge of recent literature is paramount. But he is sympathetic to the fact we may not know where to start or have read lots of bad literature in the past and are therefore reluctant to try again.
He goes on:
"So here is my list of sources of educational research for teachers: things that are worth reading. These are all relevant to teaching and/or school leadership and present high-quality, sound research. Most are written for a teacher audience, ie not too technical, jargon-filled or unnecessarily complex. They may be more likely to challenge, provoke and inform than immediately inspire: more balanced meal than fast food. But hopefully something nutritious to chew on, digest and enjoy."
