Why Do Some Educators Push Back Against Evidence? by Robert E. Slavin

Why Do Some Educators Push Back Against Evidence?
Robert E. Slavin
 
In December, 2015, the U.S. Congress passed the Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA. Among many other provisions, ESSA defined levels of evidence supporting educational programs... All of this is to the good, in my view. 
 
On the other hand, evidence is not yet transforming educational practice. Even in portions of ESSA that encourage or require use of proven programs among schools seeking federal funding, schools and districts often try to find ways around the evidence requirements rather than truly embracing them.
