Teacher Research and the Need for Experimentation to Drive Policy in Education

One of the things I do is work with the Education Study Group, an organization that supports teachers doing cheap and fast experimentation and data gathering on what works and doesn’t in their classroom and education as a whole.

This video explains the rational, from a Fortune 500 perspective:

Data should not be about Teacher Evaluation and Accountability, nor should it be another lever where the teaching relationship between teacher and student is managed from four levels above the classroom.
