On being aware of the quality of evidence

On the heels of a recent blog I did on evidence-based thinking in education worldwide, I thought it worth saying a bit more about another article in EdSurge that appeared recently. This article makes some great points about folks in education looking more carefully at claims about evidence to support efficacy of different interventions. It’s clearly not easy to make real-world decisions, given how tricky it can be to get good-enough real-world data. Hopefully, ed-tech itself, leavened with expertise, can help to improve the situation.
