Twenty-five years ago, I published Why education experts resist effective practices (and what it would take to make education more like medicine) wrightslaw.com/info/tea…, outlining the challenges of making education an evidence-based profession. Now, at the start of this new year, I'm publishing my first Substack article to revisit this critical issue. I'm thankful to Paul Kirschner for drawing attention to my earlier work, which underscores a persistent problem. Since my article was published a quarter century ago, evidence has is usually optional in educational decision-making. My Substack article, douglascarnine.substack… offers what I hope is a compelling argument (and outline of a plan) for why only a system-level transformation can finally establish education as an evidence-based profession.
