Improving Education Today: The Deep Dive

Davey and Angela examine the detrimental effects of adopting ineffective educational fads and programs on school staff and relative to student outcomes. Based on the September 7, 2024 blog by Dr. Howie Knoff, they note how many schools do not sufficiently evaluate new programs or interventions before purchasing and/or implementing them.
They especially highlight the lack of rigorous methodology and the resulting negative impact on teacher morale and student outcomes.
Your Hosts emphasize the importance of evidence-based practices and data-driven decision-making to avoid making (or repeating) these mistakes. . . noting that these missteps foster resistance to future programs (that actually can work).
Davey and Angela, through Dr. Howie, discuss case studies of flawed programs, and how a teacher survey can be used to illustrate the consequences of poorly implemented initiatives.
They urge a more critical and analytical approach to educational reform and school improvement. Ultimately, this involves a shift toward identifying the root causes of educational challenges, and implementing sustainable, research-based solutions.
