The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has today announced it is adding three new programmes to its list of Promising Projects, those EEF-funded projects – 19 to date – which have shown initial promise when trialled
This means they have demonstrated the potential to improve attainment for young people cost-effectively when independently and robustly evaluated. EEF Promising Projects have, on average, been found to boost young people’s attainment by an additional +3 months; and by +4 months for disadvantaged students.
The three programmes added to the list – 1stClass@Number, onebillion, and Improving Working Memory – all helped to boost outcomes among primary pupils identified by their schools as struggling with numeracy. In total, the EEF’s trials of these programmes involved 370 schools and reached more than 3,000 children in Years 1 – 3.
