BES (Iterative Best Evidence Synthesis)

This publication home page provides access to the New Zealand Ministry of Education Best Evidence Synthesis Iterations (BES publications).



Iterative Best Evidence Synthesis (BES) homepage.

The New Zealand Ministry of Education’s best evidence synthesis iterations draw together, explain and illustrate through vignette and case, bodies of evidence about what works to improve education outcomes, and what can make a bigger difference for the education of all our children and young people. The BESs are intended to be a catalyst for systemic improvement and sustainable development in education.
