Written by two leading experts in education research and policy,
Common-Sense Evidence is a concise, accessible guide that helps
education leaders find and interpret data and research, and then
put that knowledge into action. In the book, Nora Gordon and Carrie
Conaway empower educators to address the federal Every Student
Succeeds Act mandate that schools use evidence-based improvement
strategies. Recommendations include utilizing existing research;
generating evidence on the success of their own improvement
efforts; and building an organizational culture of evidence use.
The authors walk readers through the processes for determining
whether research is relevant and convincing; explain useful
statistical concepts; and show how to quickly search for and scan
research studies for the necessary information. The book directs
readers through case studies of typical scenarios including a
superintendent trying to reduce chronic absenteeism; a middle
school math department chair trying to improve student performance
on exams; and a chief state school officer attempting to recruit
teachers for rural schools. Common-Sense Evidence helps education
leaders build capacity for evidence-based practice in their schools
and districts.
