This book explores a radical proposal: that school systems serve as educational laboratories, continuously testing and evaluating teaching methods and practices. The author, a university researcher, collaborated with a Massachusetts school district to implement this concept. Their work, detailed within, identifies two distinct groups of educators: experienced practitioners and engaged scholars. The former often possess institutional knowledge and intuitive skill in their craft but lack formal training, while the latter bring academic rigor and a scientific mindset but may struggle with practical application. This book argues that bridging the gap between these two groups is essential for educational progress. It provides concrete examples of how to encourage teachers to critically analyze their own work and experiment with innovative approaches, and suggests ways to create a professional culture that values evidence-based decision-making.
