Innovation and Rigorous Research

See this terrific article in Ed Week about bringing the "D" back in R&D and the apparent tension between research and innovation. We don't think it is an either/or proposition. In fact, if effectively positioned and funded, R&D should be a leading edge catalyst for education innovation and ultimately transformation. What say you, dear readers?

the recent interview with Arne Duncan illustrates that it is not an either/or proposition. What we are seeing is a synthesis of innovation and scientific evidence. See longer comment on this article at: http://www.empiricaleducation.com/evidence.php#feb09
