Using Research to Inform Decisions will guide you in how to find and evaluate pertinent research, with a constant eye toward how such research can be used to inform various school- and district-level decisions. The workshop provides an overview of how practitioners use research and offers several simple tools to help you find the study you need. You will also learn strategies and structures that help foster an environment where research truly informs decision-making.
This two-week online workshop is jointly led by HGSE Professor Heather Hill, University of Colorado Professor Bill Penuel, and other leaders in the field. Video lectures, readings, facilitated online discussions, and exploration exercises will help you engage with research and gain confidence in using evidence to make sound decisions.
By completing the program, you will be able to:
- Explore the nature of research use and current national patterns in research use
- Learn how to find relevant research and read it accurately
- Evaluate research design, and be able to judge the credibility of the research
- Implement strategies for increasing the use of evidence within your own educational setting
